Coxed Four
The Coxed Four is a type of rowing boat that accommodates four rowers and a coxswain. The rowers sit in a line, each using a single oar, while the coxswain steers the boat and directs the crew. This configuration is popular in competitive rowing, as it allows for a balance of speed and teamwork.
In a Coxed Four, the coxswain plays a crucial role in coordinating the rowers' movements and ensuring optimal performance. The boat is typically around 13 to 15 meters long and is designed for both racing and training. This type of crew is commonly seen in events organized by organizations like FISA (the International Rowing Federation).
