Coxswain tips to make a good boat?

Answer 1

I assume your talking about rowing or crewing?

If so, Try to be energetic and charismatic.

Also try learning simple drum rhythms and cadence calling.

Also. Pick a really fast crew that likes one another. If possible.

And lastly KNOW where your going. Not where you've been.

It's something to think about.

Answer 2

You have to control and coach the oars, mostly with when they get their oar in and out of the water in time with the stroke....

and if they have a habit of leaning one way or another during the stroke..rowers HATE having the coxs'n calling "Two You're Late" on every stroke  so do it maybe  four times  a minute till they get the idea.....

use the rudder as little as possible, and only when the oars are in the water and pulling.....the rudder badly upsets the balance of a shell and drops the side you're turning towards down low, making it hard for the oars(wo)men to get their oars out of the water....not something they like !

So you have to be looking and planing at least a hundred yards ahead...
