Remember Eakins wasn't a Brit but American
Not very humble, but a friend of mine filmed my start on a single competition in Banyoles a couple of weeks ago:

aka "The lonelyness of the single sculler"
Luckily he didn't arrive to film the arrival (I didn't get to maintain the pace for the whole 2k )
Anyway, 40+ spm for the first meters (JR would be proud of me), and without flipping!

I found this last weekend in Banyoles:
My former coach and actual masters-crewmate Martinico rowing on the bow of Spain's lwt eight in Lucerne 1981.
That year they got bronze in the world champs in Munich!
Ahh, good ol' wooden oar-times
They are wearing the traditional Spanish yellow and black aio.
Today in Spain, the rowing aio's still are called "platanito" (small banana)

Ancho,
What kind of boat is it? With the high free board and short bow, it appears to be a touring boat, especially since is a 4x+, an unusual combination. I know that you have done some surfboat competition, but it did not appear to me to be that sort of craft.

It's a 4x+ gig boat, and it's quite usual for coastal rowing in Europe.
The most known builders are Euro-Diffusions and MPS, but there may be others.
In Germany there are lots of gigs for river rowing, which, with some adaptions, maybe also may be adequate.
And in Amsterdam I have seen a very nice Hudson gig.
The usual competition boat types are 1x, 2x and 4x+
BTW, although I have tried surf-rowing, I have not (yet) competed in surf boats!
