Hey, I am a new cox, i weigh about 56 kilos, and im about 5'6". is that a good size for a cox? i am actually quite happy with my weight (and height for that matter) but i was wondering how much (in kilo's) all you other coxies weigh! any way i was actually writing to see if you had any pointers of tips for steering, calls, how to be organised, how to be firm with a crew, etc. anything will be appreciated. Cya's and ill let ya's noe how i go!

I'm ~55kg (119-124lb) and 5'7"
Min. specs for our races is 125lb.
though i admit i felt about 6inches too tall for the bowloader 4+ i was crammed into yesterday. That, or the backrest and bar was poorly built. Either way, I don't think the boatbuilder was a coxswain O:-)

They're probably from the UK, where coxes have to be weighed in kilograms. (Isn't that because at international races, coxes are weighed in kilograms? If so, why does the US still weigh them in pounds?) The big metric/imperial debate...

I'm 5' and around 53kg. Also from the Uk. I think its around 120lbs? Maybe?
Why do we measure our height in imperial, I'm really 1m53cm. We should do either one or the other.
