A boat's coxswain (pronounced cox'n) is in charge of tactical decisions, steering, and most importantly, the safety of the rowers. Coxswains do not row. Sculling boats (boats of 1, 2, or 4 rowers with 2 oars per rower) generally do not have coxswains. Occasionally a 4-scull will have a cox, but the others do not because they are simple not big enough to be effective with one.

Sculling = One oar in each hand and a sliding seat. Usually 1,2, or 4 rowers written as 1x,2x,4x. Steering can be done by varying the amount of pull on each side. Sweep rowing = Two hands on one oar. Each rower takes one side (port/starboard) so there needs to be an even number of rowers. Sliding seat. 2,4, or 8 rowers. Often (and always with 8 rowers) has a coxswain to steer and coordinate. Rudders is used. Usually written as 2+,4+, 8+ (rowers w/coxswain) or 2-,4- (w/o coxswain)
