Demontfort University Rowing Club are searching for a Coxed 4
Janousek or similar that is no older than 1997 build. Due to the naure of
our river it MUST be a stern coxed - we cannot consider a bow loader.
We have cash waiting and can come and view / collect it, immediately.
If you think you may know someone who may be able to help PLEASE pass on
this email or my number - 07979 808 272.
Thankyou very much

A3aan.
Could you please explain how the nature of a river can request a stern coxed
boat ? I think normally the opposite is true, when you have many turns and is
better to give a wide sigth to the cox.

It depends - if the river is crowded (which goes up to 'floating log jam
status' here in cambridge this term) you've got far more to worry about
behind and around you that what's just in front. I think in a stern
loader you do have much more of a sense of what's around you, just
because you're higher up and it's a lot easier to look around.

In a stern coxed boat you can also see where the blades are, and in
some circumstances that is a good thing. Narrow bridges or crowded
stretches of water are two possible places,
Douglas.
As a cox I know that, but on the other hand you shoud be a good cox
before you get stuck out in a bow-loader with good perception of what is
around you, and your rowers should be of the calbre to be able to warn
you of what's about - mine do, especially when the river's crowded,
though I know exactly how wide our bridges our and what our clearance
is.
KT
I was thinking more of the canal in the East than the Clyde. On the
canal there is at least one bridge where the clearance is very tight
on both sides, much narrower than any of the bridges over here.
Douglas
Never had to do the canal! Though I bet it doesn't boast such exciting
things under their bridges as submerged cars :o)
KT
Maybe this is just me, but I've never coxed a bow-loader that made it
impossible to turn my head around so that I could look at the blades.
