I move about 8 inches to bow, the boat checks dead when

If you creep to quick, the boat starts moving and you can
end up back at start again, but I can hold it to about halfway
with no trouble.

So hold on a second, either it's "all the way" or "not all the way"
through the same range of motion. Otherwise you are making a great
case to rush the recovery for an increase in efficiency during regular
rowing. Please continue with that, and I hope that it worls out for
y'all.

no I make no case that way. I think what's happening is that there
is more friction from a standing boat than from a moving boat due
to surface tension. The standing boat trick that I've done has no
practical application for teaching sculling.

I've long understood that an ideal recovery has a slight acceleration
from release to catch, as long as that acceleration doesn't hamper
catch timing.
