Head of the Charles 2008 - Coxswain View (Pt.1/3)

Raw footage (last 90 seconds of the queuing chaos, and then the race) from the Upper Valley Rowing coxswain's perspective in the Master Women's 8 event at the 2008 Head of the Charles Regatta. What an incredibly fast field this year! What an incredible race!

Sorry for the sound and view quality: waterproof mic and YouTube video degradation/compression.

How impressive. I typically cox a Novice Girls 8, oh dear Lord this looks so good in comparison!

[LV2PLA]

Practice makes perfect... even though this was FAR from perfect. But a good time, for sure. Make sure to have fun in which ever boat you're in.

how long is this event again? like meter wise

[LV2PLA]

The HOCR is three miles, which converts to 4828 meters.

Is it me or was 4 seat rolling up late sometimes?

[LV2PLA]

@nellings6 Probably 95% of the time, actually. We never could break her of the habit of always doing the flip catch - nor of her propensity to feather with both hands for that matter. That's a combo just gagging to make the rower go deep. Great eye, btw!

I am a coxswain and I row on the Charles all the time! It was cool to hear some great coxing things on my very own river :)
