Record of Edward Henlan on rowing rigging and world tours
Edward Henlan recalls his first great race in Philadelphia in 187 and his initial mockery for his unconventional rigging. He describes his 20 inch sliding seat and longer oars that advanced racing speed, beating English rivals and Trickett for $500,000 for friends, and later defeats in Australia due to climate and a ceded match with a steamer.
