[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't always have to be 6' or even decent athletes....a few petite kids get recruited to be coxswain.[/quote]
How petite for boys/ men’s crew is petite enough for coxswain?[/quote]

Actually I think girls are more likely to cox for a boys boat than a boy cox for a boys boat.  At least it seems that way at the high school level.  It’s awesome to see a tiny girl absolutely bossing around 8 huge boys.

High school: A cox can be of either gender for either boat. But there are minimums.

For girls, if you weigh under 110, they will give you a sandbag of the difference.

For boys, it’s 125, also sandbagged if under.

You can weigh more, but coaches really don’t want extra weight that can be avoided.

This info is a few years old. Curious if the rules have changed recently? [/quote]

For the IRA schools (Division I), and I'm fairly sure that it applies to DIII schools too, any coxswain in a men's boat has to weigh at least 125 pounds.  If the coxswain weighs less than 125 pounds, then he or she hsa tocarry enough weight to get the coxswain's total up to 125.  For women's boats in college, the weight is 110.[/quote]
