See RBN Vol4 No2 for enough information to clear this up.

Look particularly at Graph #6 (Top right) and see that the faster crew
(#1) has a lower hull speed down-spike (but much sharper) and barely
exceeds #2's hull speed at any point, and definitely does NOT exceed
the peak hull speed of #2 at any time.

Hmm... You do have a point here. Thank you for clearing another little part of rowings mystery for me!

The average velocity, after all, depends as much about the duration of the downspike as its depth (no, I won't do any integrations here).

For my eyes the graph #6 would indicate a quite slow catch for the crew 2. Wich brings us back to the original subject. A fast catch makes your life easier.

One more thing. How on earth does crew 1 cause positive force before catch in graph #1? Is it a measurement error or what?
