The footage dates from the year 2000. The reason they're using the older-style symmetrical macon blades is because the club tends to give them to the beginners, at least for the first few weeks.
For everyone blaming the cox's course it was pretty obvious he's rudder malfunctioned the way he was leaning back trying to pull at this steering cables,moist only flaw was commanding hold water too late
As a new novice Cox. That is still the coxswains fault. He could have said for one side to power up other side power down or have some seats stop and hold or literally anything
I am a novice, and I have coxed for multiple races. At head of the lagoon (course has 2 90-degree turns and is centered around 3 huge curves), there are multiple turns that can not be achieved using just the rudder. The cox should have had 2 seat and 4 seat drop out or had everybody check it down and 8 seat hold.
If you listen closely to the coxswain at 0:46 he says he lost the rudder. He didnt have control of the boat anymore, I dont see why he didnt just have them hold water at that point :/
If anything the freshman 8's tend to be more set in the beginning of fall season than their novice 8 counterparts since some young returning rowers or freshman varsity may be placed in them. While novices are, well, novices. (Idk every crew does things a little differently I suppose)
This is completely unrelated to the video but in my rowing club, the club owns the boats, and we each get assigned our own single scull which we use to train and race, I happened to the get one which only has one shoe, one half of the slide is sticking off sideways and all the paint is peeling off.
at first i thought they broke an oar i hear the same sound when a fallen tree had a branch sticking up and i moved over to miss the new quad and snap! two oars plus bow man got pulled in better than head on with a quad
This cox should have known he wasn't making that turn. The freshman cox on my team did a better job handling a boat than that on his time out...this is pretty sad, I'm sure frankie looked amazing compared to this travesty.
Commentator complaining about their brand new boat,if you put a raw novice crew out, with what looks like a novice cox as well,what do you think might happen? who put them out in a new boat?? Could be an issue with the tiller as well!
wow nice and calm, when a bunch of sea cadets drove their boat into our oldest boat our head coach ripped our balls off, we were stuck in C races and the b boat took our place and it wasnt even our fault we had right of way!
I'm pretty sure without a Rutter and/or skeg it's a bitch to stear.....still he should have had ports weigh nuff' and had starboards put on heavy drive.
hahaha... i wish more regattas had things like that happen... it might make them more fun!!! i had a two day regatta end yesterday!!! boring!!! i wish at least one person flipped or something!!!
Idk if it's just me but it seems like almost every humiliating boat crash or crab video found on UA-cam happens in this exact canal.
I'm sorry but the coach just cracked me up 'if he crashes again.....whatevs let's look at this crew, they're gonna win now lol'

Why were the novices in a new boat anyway? As a novice myself I wouldn't even dare go near it.
Jeez, the freshman 8 I was in had better balance than those boats.

was the crunching sound the vegetation on the bank or the boat? or both...lol
She'd probably been coxing for about 3 weeks by that point - so I guess that the less repetetive calls gradually develop as you gain experience.
The coxswain looks back at the rudder as though he was having trouble with it. He should told the rowers to reduce their speed.
Yes you did. In hindsight Andy (cox) should have told his crew to stop & turn, but panicked a bit when the rudder went. That's novices for you.
River Cam, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England
whats the deal with these thing? Are they that fragile?
some1 said "ive lost the rudder"
what the hell is wrong with your crews??? they are going at like rate 20 :P is this a race?
how old are they? thats crash was pretty bad tbh, im a rowerrr(:
But they were just novices - having done about 2-3 weeks worth of rowing
Why does the 2nd boats coxswain keep saying "Come on"???? Or at least tats wat it sounds like
The second boat has a lot more promise. Better recovery and catch.
that second cox was ace, a bit like my coxswain!
The cox must have been a relative of the Titanic's captain!
at first i thought they broke an oar i hear the same sound when a fallen tree had a branch sticking up and i moved over to miss the new quad and snap! two oars plus bow man got pulled in better than head on with a quad
This is the reason why you train a coxswain.
How is this the coxswains fault though? Not trying to blame others, just curious.
@DoctorGromit Its a novice boat its not going to be set up their first race.
i raced this course :D it's a right pain to run when it's your first attempt and ur racing

A new Composite Carbon Sykes is $38,000 and a Wintec is $31,000 delivered with wing riggers and coxbox.
I highly doubt that...
could they go any slower

Why didn't he drag or wayenough on the port side only. Then they could have made it.
I think every rower has seen this ancient video.
if he had ports hold instead of everyone stop the first time he would have been all clear
wow such a bad crash...
A bit crunchy. Starboard fail.
Looks like he had a rudder problem, notice after the crash he leans back to fix something
Wrecking a row boat.....priceless
all the firsts these days in melbourne at least have hudson boats
That woman Cox (no offence) has the most annoying voice ever
Kojo Agu welcome to every Cox ever
The essence of the word Action.
we took 2 hours in a race that should've took up 15 mins a couple weeks ago
Get out of the boat and start walking. I like how a guy on a bike has to help them.
hillarious the reaction of the coach, how he says> oh, those fu--ing co-ksuckers...
I would think that all those guys could pool their money together so they could afford a motor for their boat. They must be awefully poor!
bloody hell if that was my coach he would of made get out of the boat and swim it bak to the shed
been there done that
tow words going through the owners mind oh damn
wow nice and calm, when a bunch of sea cadets drove their boat into our oldest boat our head coach ripped our balls off, we were stuck in C races and the b boat took our place and it wasnt even our fault we had right of way!
0:46 lost the rudder
Wow. Intense!!!
looks like their first time rowing, lol.
I'm pretty sure without a Rutter and/or skeg it's a bitch to stear.....still he should have had ports weigh nuff' and had starboards put on heavy drive.
that should not have happened, at the very least the cox could have told them to check, but no he kept them rowing right into the bank
I'm a novice cox and this is still inexcusable. That crunch made me gag a little.
im goinf rowing but im younger than them and i dont fail!!!
cmon you gotta give them something.... at least they know how to feather
hahaha why would you give novices are new boat a brand new 1 lol
Funny, but I was expecting something a tad more dramatic... ;)
i like this coach lol
They really coxed that up!
Nice dry humour.
hahaha... i wish more regattas had things like that happen... it might make them more fun!!! i had a two day regatta end yesterday!!! boring!!! i wish at least one person flipped or something!!!
becuz of that crash, u guys shud use spoons forever as a punishment
psh, novices.
0:50 to 1:50 is just pure fucking lulz.
that if you coxed once in your life, he makes you look like a master.
OMG
😊
if i had that girl as my coxwain i'd go insane
omg it looks like an octupuis xD
fail, coxswain. poor novi.
haha Unlucky!
lol :D
