Apparatus for rowing in the direction the rower is facing has a base frame, where the main bearing for a lever with hand grip and for a lever with oar and a linkage that connects the lever with hand grip and linkage with oar to form a counteracting four-bar linkage system with actuated bearing body as the driven arm of the four-bar linkage and linked to a rotation drive with a main axle and virtually coaxial actuator. To achieve advantageous rotation of the lever with oar, the lever with hand grip rotates about its axis so that within the four-bar linkage bearing body is able to rotate and actuate an actuator rod that is virtually coaxial to the main axle on bearing body, that engages with a rocker arm mounted on the base frame to shift the actuator rod of the rotary drive to rotate the lever with oar.
An apparatus for rowing in the direction the rower is facing with a base frame (5), the main bearing (11) for a lever with hand grip (3) and for a lever with oar (2) and a linkage (12) that connect the lever with hand grip (3) and linkage with oar (2) to form a counteracting four-bar linkage system (4) with actuated bearing body (9) as the driven arm of the four-bar linkage (4) and linked to a rotary drive (15) with a main axle (14) and virtually coaxial actuator (16), wherein the lever with hand grip (3) rotates about its axis so that within the four-bar linkage (4) bearing body (10) is able to rotate and actuate an actuator rod (21) that is virtually coaxial to the main axle (13) on bearing body (10), that engages with a rocker arm (22) mounted on the base frame to shift the actuator rod (16) on the rotary drive (15) for the lever with oar (2).
