The Down and Dirty Guide to Coxing

by George D. Kirschbaum

Hello and welcome to the world of coxing! The Down & Dirty Guide to Coxing is your guide to being the best. If you are new to the sport or looking to sharpen your skills then the Guide is for you. The goal of The Down & Dirty Guide to Coxing is to make clear the many tasks, jobs, and skills that a coxswain needs to succeed. The Guide is written in a tone of voice that does not talk down to the novice or intermediate cox, but instead reads like a conversation with a good friend. It doesn't matter if you are in high school, college, or coxing for your local club the Guide has something for you. The material covered will prepare you for those first hectic days at the boat house and give you the confidence to take charge when it's time to hit the water. Cox-Boxes, riggers, racing starts, power 10's, and the words "way-enough!" will no longer be part of a alien language. It will all be there for you to learn and use each day. So get ready to jump right in and become the "quarterback" of rowing- the coxswain!

Dated at times, but one of the most in-depth books on coxing that I’ve come across.

Mr Kirschbaum, if you’re reading this, I’m local and would love to edit this for you if you decide to do a second edition <3
