Dependence of the world best

As the world best are heavily dependent on external influences in rowing, they are not called World Records as it was handled by the mid- 1950s.

They are also dependent on wind, water depth, temperature and quality, flow, undercurrent and waves. That's why they are only accessible under favorable weather conditions. Best bests be continuous downwind ( about 3 to 7 m / s) does not achieve significantly interfering waves and warm water ( about 20 ° C or more). Too much tailwind arise to large waves that interfere and the boat speed slow (eg the Rowing Course, where the wind comes mostly from the side or from the launch site ). Flow through the boat is also faster in counter- flow slower. At the 2005 World Championships in Gifu, Japan, the records were in rows, but were not recognized by FISA, because the current was too strong clear.

Also must prevail on a regatta course not always favorable conditions. While the U23 World Rowing Championships 2011 at the Bosbaan in Amsterdam almost all world best were undercut. But this was only because there were very favorable weather conditions at two final days.

But you need not only good weather, but also the peak performance of athletes. Without this, no world best would come about.
