If you want a stable platform, or a drill for the best chance to execute the drill, being stable is good. When a pair drops out - have an agreed way to hold your oar when you change pairs; also an agreed way to join in the rowing; also an agreed way to hold the oar to stabilise the boat (against your knees or arms outstretched with upward pressure). Discuss whether you want a "soft set" or a "firm set" in the drill and what the crew should do. It's important to keep the handle pressure upwards (so the blade is flat on the water) to set the boat.
