What moving the feet forward and back in the boat does

In this video, Lachlan discusses what effect moving the foot stretcher forward and back in the boat does. This video gives you the pros and cons of each setup.

When you move the foot stretcher back in the boat, it makes everything more comfortable from the catch through to the finish. When you move the foot stretcher forward, it makes everything harder.  

Some coaches are catch orientated and love to move the foot stretcher as far forward as possible, and some coaches do the opposite. Both approaches have achieved excellent results, but which way to go? This video gives you the pros and cons of each setup.​
