WHAT DOES COXLESS FOUR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

coxless four

Coxless four

A coxless four is a rowing boat used in the sport of competitive rowing. It is designed for four persons who propel the boat with sweep oars. The crew consists of four rowers, each having one oar. There are two rowers on the stroke side and two on the bow side. There is no cox, but the rudder is controlled by one of the crew, normally with the rudder cable attached to the toe of one of their shoes which can pivot about the ball of the foot, moving the cable left or right. The steersman may row at bow, who has the best vision when looking over their shoulder, or on straighter courses stroke may steer, since they can point the stern of the boat at some landmark at the start of the course. The equivalent boat when it is steered by a cox is referred to as a "coxed four". Racing boats are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross-section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material for strength and weight advantages. Fours have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to help the rudder.
