Sorry, I'm simple but not a physicist. Why is it more stable to have
blades three inches above the water rather than four? If you said
horizontal oars are more stable than ones angled up or down because
the moments of force are further from the centre of mass or gravity or
something I'd say my accountant's brain can't argue, but I can't work
out why the height, per se, matters.
Thanks in advance,
Taniwha.
