    That's correct.  Your point is... that it's not exactly fencing?

    I decided I cannot hang with the intellectual giants in this thread, so I will refrain for now.

    Dang it, John is too fast!  Lol!

    A properly designed boat (or is it a ship?) will absolutely balance without human intervention.

    Your little speedy row boats probably do not though.
    A shell.

    If you set up one of these on the water without anyone in them and without any oars, you'll have a hard time keeping it level.  They basically sit right up on the water and are very light, so the contact with the water is close to zero without anyone in them.  

    Once you put rowers in them, all bets are off.  All eight rowers have to work carefully together.  Slight movements in the wrong direction by one rower and you're in trouble quickly.

    That is an interesting fact I never even thought about!  Is there an optimum total team mass?  I would bet at elite levels a boat is probably designed for the team rowing.

    There probably is an optimal team mass, but hitting that is next to impossible, for obvious reasons.  The emphasis is on endurance, strength, and an optimal balance of slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers.  

    I've never heard of a boat being tailored to a specific team, even at the elite level.

    I would assume hulls are built to meet a standard design. Do different teams have the ability to design their own hulls?

    Like are there standards one must adhere too, similiar to Formula 1, or the clearly inferior Winston Cup?

    There are probably lots of things one could do to reduce drag and thus reduce the energy required to reach a desired speed and maintain it.

    I wonder of you could row fast enough for a hydrofoil?. Maybe dimple the bow like a golf ball?  Friction reducing coatings like teflon?

    There is actually an analog in rowing - lightweight crews.  There is both a maximum mass for the entire boat and then individual rowers as well.  So you see crazy things like athletes running around trying to lose a pound or two in sweat on the day of a race.

    There are several name brand manufacturers of these things.   There are design differences between manufacturers for sure, and it’s very competitive.  But I’ve never heard of a team designing their own shell.

    Had a college roommate who was a four -year rower as a light weight.  Remember thru the aging fog the drills he and the rest of them went thru to make weight.  
    Friday night fuel for sure-be there!

    I've followed this thread enough to know the following is OT (meaning serious), no apologies, you were warned.
    The rowing discussion made me recall an episode of a PBS series called American Experience.  It details the team from Washington St. that went to the 1936 Berlin Olympics.  They did not disappoint.  For those that enjoy a underdog story and have an hour to spare more information is here...
