The equation is solved with relatively tight error tolerances of 10-10 for absolute and 10-8 for relative tolerances. The use of the default tolerance values results in wrong solution. In the beginning we have carried out the regatta simulation for three ranges oar rotation. The assumed ranges of the oar rotation γOA=45°÷135º, γOA=60°÷150º. were: γOA=30°÷120º, The calculation result in sensitivity parameters, rowing efficiency and regatta time for oar rotation all ranges are presented in the Table 1. The most efficient sculling technique was for γOA=45°÷135º range of the oar rotation. The best regatta result was observed for the γOA=60°÷150º. The sensitivity coefficients computation of regatta result in wind and water current were performed for the most efficient oar rotation range. Result of computing of efficiency, sensitivity coefficients and regatta results for different wind velocities are presented in the Table 2 and the Table 3 and the Figure 2. Efficiency computing, sensitivity coefficients results and regatta results for different water current velocities are presented in the Table 4 and the Table 5 and the Figure 3. The best time to cover the distance 2000m was observed for favorable water current velocity of 2m/s. The worst regatta time was observed for opposite water current of 2m/s. The efficiency coefficient for this oar rotation range did not change. The greatest influence on the regatta result has the time of active phase of rowing as shown on the Figure 4. The sensitivity of regatta results on active phase time vs. the wind velocity is constant as shows the Figure 5.

CONCLUSIONS i) This model provides the opportunity to study the effect of different rowing technique elements and wind and water currents on the regatta outcome. ii) The mean angle range of oar rotation should be close to angle of 90°. Fig 3 Regatta time TREG vs. water current velocity VVS . iii) The time of active phase of oar work has the greatest influence on regatta result. iv) The opposite wind is more aggravated by the result of the regatta than by the wind at the same velocity which improves it. v) The water currents have a very large effect on the regatta result. The opposite current of water results in the worse regatta result than the water current at the same velocity which improves it. vi) The best regatta result was obtained for the rotation range of the oars located maximally in front of the boat.
