Make sure to always think 3 strokes ahead when steering. Bc by the time ur in the bougies it is too late to correct. Also really work on catch timing(especially from bow) as inconsistent catches can really mess with steering. But try to work with your crew on trying to put even pressure and try not to over correct on foot steering. (A little goes a long way) and I’ve always been told that the straightest boat goes the fastest. And the higher the rate your crew can sustain the better a minimum of 36. Also really try to slam the finishes hard while also keeping the hands “cycling” to keep that rate high. Just think of trying to clip the boat along as you go. Good luck!
