Abstract
A pair boat simulator is provided including a housing which is mounted about a longitudinal roll axis upon supports above a training facility floor. Two racing shell seats are mounted within the housing adjacent simulated oars which are mounted, in turn, upon oarlocks positioned, in turn, upon outrigger assemblies. The simulated oars are foreshortened and include a blade flotation assembly at their tips along with load beam type force transducers. The oars serve to drive a rotatable mass such as a flywheel. Thus, the physical output of each oarsman is commonly coupled to the rotating mass. Instrumentation includes transducers looking to inclinations of the housing about the roll or longitudinal axis, oar elevation and sweep angle as well as blade rotation. These parameters are combined and developed under computer driven control into data presented at visual readouts made available both to the oarsman and coach. Such readouts include, for example, force versus sweep angle graphs, animated displays of heading, lateral position and hull velocity; values of effective power and rowing efficiency.
