coxless

Crew lacks director

Coxless describes a rowing boat without a coxswain—the person who normally steers and directs the crew.

In coxless boats, one of the rowers handles steering, typically with a foot-controlled rudder.

Racing categories distinguish between coxed and coxless events: coxless pair, coxless four.
