Coxing Drills How To Q&A

Question of the Day

Transitioning by fours in an 8+ always confuses me. I know you start with stern four, then stern pair out, then three four in, but what’s after that? Who goes in and out in what order? Thanks!

It’s actually pretty simple because there’s only two pair switches you need to make to get between stern, middle, and bow four. Once you’re done with bow 4 it’s only a matter of whether you’re continuing rotating through the fours againĀ or going to 6s or all eight (in which case, the addition of the rest of the pairs is self-explanatory).
