I am a cox myself, so I usually try to stick up for other coxies, but sometimes, there is just no excuse. A pole is can be hard to see, the shore is not.
i'm a coxswain and i can say it's not easy...but it IS easy to tell when you're going straight towards the shore so this woman clearly either wasn't paying attention or can't steer for her life.
One of our freshman coxswains just did this but she ran into a neon orange channel marker. We lost our best 8 and our coach no longer trusts us with our 2nd. We just ordered two new boats that we aren't even allowed to touch when we get them.
Our novice boys just dropped our nicest racing quad on our dock. Snapped the fin and left some big dents. Long story short, novice boys will only be doing land days for the next month.
@shibalry Hey. The coxswains job is hard. I find this a insult considering i am a coxswain. We have a mental game making sure we dont Hit things. Keep track of our rowers. Watch the other boats. and more. So please dnt say our job isnt tat hard. Thanks. I get they should watch where they are going. noticing they were that close to shore. shore is easy to see. but things like poles are sometimes hard. So please dont judge coxswains.
There's a liner inside to try to mitigate the risk of sinking from bow collapse (it isn't particularly rare) this allows you to get the boat back to dry land for repair and is safer for the crew. Where did they get that cox from? The infamy of carrying a broken boat back to the boat house, like being caught naked with a sheep.
Way to ruin a 60 grand Empacher. When I rowed in my school's empacher, we would be punished for putting it in the water too fast. I can't imagine what this crew's coach would have had to say about it. I rowed bow a few times, and was always reminded that bow is the first to get killed or hurt. Bow seat on this boat is one lucky SOB.
Clearly Oxford has a different number of rowers in the boat, as at the end of the video it says the Pembroke 12! (should be IIX, or more commonly VIII)
it's not always the coxes fault, once the boat gets close to the bank the stream compounds the problem by forcing you ever nearer the bank!! however, I would be very annoyed if a boat came home like that!!
im in hoyoke, some ppl had gone under a bridge nd tore off the fin, put like a 2 foot gash in the boat, it was a 8. i seen it in theboat house at jones ferry
That is pathetic. The cox should have been farther off shore, I was Bow once and I had an idiot cox and saw my 40 grand shell heading into a pole and put so much drive on 1 stroke I swear I heard the rigger crack. Really the shame of carrying your broken empacher through a crowd of people especially the cox must have been horrific.
ohman... walk of shame much -___-''' that would actually suck... i remember coxing an 8 for the first time and a Prince Alfred junior quad scull popped out fromm my blind spot a little to late and we snapped out bow off about a ft off the ball... i felt sooo bad.. luckily it was just training and it was the shitty(er) boat. still these things should be avoided as much as possible.

if we smash an empacher like that, we're fucking dead
if we smash any boat like that, we're fucking dead
Painful to see the bow hanging as they lift the shell out of the water!

my heart is bleeding....

cpmisalive I know this comment is 11 years old and you’re probably dead by now, but I want you to know it made me snicker.

I'm pretty sure the bowball is not supose to be facing the stern but that's just me.
when there's a hole in the bow, you shouldn't have bow pair row. simple logic.

Roger Bannister was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes
How did the thing not break in half?
oh my f***ing god
the poor empacher boat
it's not always the coxes fault, once the boat gets close to the bank the stream compounds the problem by forcing you ever nearer the bank!! however, I would be very annoyed if a boat came home like that!!
why did u put mens 2nd 12?
hmmm. this was at regatta, right? That blows.
im in hoyoke, some ppl had gone under a bridge nd tore off the fin, put like a 2 foot gash in the boat, it was a 8. i seen it in theboat house at jones ferry
Sir Bannister is going to be pissed off
Pembroke men's 2nd XII eh? Could have sworn that was an eight, not a twelve.
what a walk of shame. i think that hurt their pride more than the boat.
did it sink?
Nothing happened just continu its not like you broke a empacher
Oh, that's got to be embarrassing.
The poor boat!!

that has got to hurt the boat...
why is this video title "men's second 12"... eight in roman numerals is IIX, not XII...
thats why you dont give inexperienced coxes empachers to cox
haha! ouch its a nice pacher as well
brilliant cox
i doubt who ever sir roger bannister is happy
if i was in that boat, i woulda just jumped out and swam for my life.
@shibalry Especially when it's an empacher 8!
Poor Bannister
whaah oh god, poor boat, I think that's the last time the cox will ever get in THAT boat.....
If its a new empacher , €70000..
Crain's helmsman was strong but broke a Empacher frankly I would not be in place of skipper
well somebody (the cox) better got in big trouble for that...a boat like that costs a fortune...
so that microphone around the cox's head is just a pretend one for show?
wouldnt the boat sunk if there was a fat hole in the bow and how bad would it be carrying a boaten boat through a crowd...
wow...well i can bearly steer a gig boat....butt id feel so bad for that cox! niice boat too!
ohman... walk of shame much -___-''' that would actually suck... i remember coxing an 8 for the first time and a Prince Alfred junior quad scull popped out fromm my blind spot a little to late and we snapped out bow off about a ft off the ball... i felt sooo bad.. luckily it was just training and it was the shitty(er) boat. still these things should be avoided as much as possible.
Dont worry the bow ball helped
Simply Jay bow ball gives a 100% insurance coverage over the crash
The bowball is to make sure no one gets stabbed to death by a rowing boat
well, at least it was an old(er) Empacher....
goodbye bow
noooooo not another empacher
In front of all those people!!
is dat an empacher!!!!
our club cant aford a new janousek!!!!
@shibalry You're wrong.
way to go cox. first year?? still pretty horrible.
way to ruin an empacher
so who pays the $3000 repair bill? lol
which club is that? coz im never going rowing with them on the river haha.
lol pembroke 2nd 12!
owned...
this is ridiculous, the coxswain's job is not that hard, don't hit things!
XII = december
how embarsing !!!
HAhAHHAHAHAH -_-
all i can say is... sh!t.
hahahahahahahahahahaha...
hahahahahahahahahahaha!
ahahah what gay zoot suits
@NikkiCryerx its hard to cox? maybe if you are blind
