	Coxswain Guide

		When all of the rowers are exhausted, it is the coxswain that the rowers depend upon for the motivation and the determination to win.
		Coxswains have to steer the shortest course possible, head races are a race against a clock.

	Coxswain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The coxswain (pronounced cox-ən; often called the cox) is the person in charge of a boat, particularly its navigation and steering.
		Most familiarly, the coxswain is the member of a rowing crew who sits in the stern (except in bowloaders) facing the bow, steers the boat, and coordinates the power and rhythm of the rowers.
		The Rank of Coxswain equates to the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer in the Royal Air Force Sections, and the rank of Cadet Regimental Sergeant Major in the Army Sections.

		The coxswain sits in the back of an eight, quad, pair, or double, but in the back OR front of a four (a four with the coxswain's seat in the front is called a bow loader, abbreviation is the same).
		The coxswain is the mini-coach in the boat, they call all of the commands, to ensure that the rowers are together in what they do, and everyone is doing the right thing.
		Coxswains also are the only people allowed to look out of the boat (in a well disciplined boat), and during a race, will let the crew know where they are (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).

		We don't have any club coxswains so we are at mercy of the generosity of the local school coxswains and any visiting coxswains.

	Sports -- Little Big People of the Crew World
		While coxswains do not row, they are an essential part of any boat, perhaps just as essential as the rowers themselves.
		While some coxswains feel separated from rowers by the physical pains of rowing, rowers have a great deal of respect for their coxswains.
		From running to erging, coxswains are not required to train with the rowers, but often feel obligated to.

		The key to success, like so many other rowing functions, is listening to the commands of the coxswain, and when required, doing it as a crew...in unison.
		Boats are stored in the boat house stern first (stern towards the back of the boat bay) except for the fours that are in the first boat bay — those are put in bow first.
		Shoes and other equipment left on the dock constitute a hazard to other crews using the dock, and should be stored off the dock or taken in the boat.

		Lisa, our coxswain, and the only one who is shorter than I, Dwayne who is visually impaired, and I were from the original 4 from last year.

		She was worried about me with all those blades a flying, and yelling from the coach and coxswain, either that or she was barking commands for us to work harder.

	MGoBlue: Steering the Boat is Just One Part of Koo's Job as Coxswain
		From playing the role as a second coach during practice to being the crew's motivator on the water during a race, a coxswain is a unique position in the world of sports.
		A primary example of this is the fact that while in the stern of the boat, the coxswain can see the blades of all the rowers but only the body of the person in the stroke seat.
		As a result, the coxswain must infer what is going on with the rowers from what she can see of the blades.

		To be a coxswain is a special trust; all that power poised to explode on your word.
		On that first three-quarter stroke, when the starter says "Go," the oars explode in a blast of white water, and the back of that coxswain's seat kicks us in the butt, it is the most exhilarating feeling in the world.
		We coxswains may joke about "coming second after God," but we know it is the rowers who give us everything.

	Kaschper Racing Shells - BioRig Slide
		This is achieved by moving the coxswain out of phase with the crew: as the crew approaches the catch (and the stern), the coxswain is fully compressed (approaching bow).
		An echo effect is created in which the stroke and coxswain mirror each other's movement along the centre line of the shell.
		Note should be taken, however, that the BioSlide requires an athletic coxswain capable of managing the traditional duties in addition to the physical routine not dissimilar to that of the crew: just like any rower, the coxswain must be synchronized fully - albeit perfectly out of phase - to ensure a smooth-running boat without check.
