COXSWAINS
The weight requirement for coxswains of crews participating in collegiate men’s events deviates from USRowing Rules. Coxswains who do not meet the minimum weight required shall carry sufficient additional deadweight to satisfy the minimum. Such weight shall be placed in the boat as close to the torso of the coxswain as possible; it is strictly forbidden to distribute the additional weight throughout the boat. Weight will be randomly checked. Clothing, equipment, electronic systems, tools or other utilitarian devices germane to competition shall not be considered part of either the coxswain’s direct weight or the required additional weight. Coxswains must provide their own specific weights or bags for sand.
The following are the minimum weight requirements for the coxswains of men’s and women’s crews:
| EVENTS | CATEGORY |
