In the condition of forward flight which existed before our engine failure, a relatively small angle of attack with sufficient power produced a balanced condition of forces. The lift component vector, always acting perpendicular to the relative wind, is leaning forward, while the drag component vector, always acting parallel to the relative wind, is aft and slightly upward. 2, record 1, English, - drag%20component%20vector

The driving phase begins when the lead foot lands on the outside of the forefoot just in front of the athlete's center of gravity (i.e., the athlete's hips). The foot is driven to the ground by the hip extensor muscles. It is important for the quadriceps to fire as the foot makes contact with the ground to keep the knee from flexing excessively, which would dissipate elastic energy. The ankle should be dorsiflexed, with the foot's big toe pulled up, the combination of which will allow for the storage of elastic energy to be maximized to help with propulsion later ... 1, record 3, English, - driving%20phase

At the end of the J stroke, the paddle is kniffed forward underwater with the power face of the paddle almost flat and facing up. Steering is accomplished by pulling up on the blade as it is brought forward. About halfway through the recovery, the paddle is allowed to slip out of the water in readiness for the next power stroke. The trick is getting a very slight angle on the blade as it comes forward. If the angle is wrong the paddle will plane out of the water or drive too deep. The angle is controlled by the upper hand. 2, record 4, English, - Canadian%20stroke
