http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxswain_(rowing) Quote A boat without a cox is known as a coxless or "straight" boat. Title: Re: Olympic quiz - Can you spot the coxswain? Post by: Fuzzy on August 18, 2008, 06:44:17 PM It's like a dream job for stroh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxswain_(rowing) Quote Coxes in either coxed pairs, fours, quads, eights, or octuples can use a Cox Box, most models of which show the rate in strokes per minute of the person sitting in the stroke seat (the seat at the rear of the boat, from whom the rate of strokes per minute and timing is taken) Title: Re: Olympic quiz - Can you spot the coxswain?
