The men vary but little from the perpendicular either at the beginning or end of the stroke, and the sole means of propulsion employed are the legs and arms.

There is a very general aptitude throughout the boat, however, to resort too soon to the use of the arms and do bent arm work, but that is little else than natural with such a style...
