The one thing all coxswains simply
cannot live without? Their coxbox of
course! And I am absolutely in love with
mine. Look at it, how could I not
be! Getting my coxbox is the first thing
I do when I get to the boathouse and it doesn’t leave my sight until my boat is
back in the boathouse. It lets me know
my stern pair is keeping a good stable stroke rating and helps to magnify my voice
to all eight rowers from stroke to bow.
When my coaches surprised us last fall
with five brand new coxboxes, complete with color coded bumpers, it was like
coxie Christmas! And for them to have matched my bumper with my pink
electrical tape was extra special! I was so excited about it that I had
to take this picture to send to my sister to brag about.
This is the exact coxbox I have from NK. I also use the Speed Coach XL3. This gives device lets me know the splits my
girls are pulling. My coach also has a
device in the launch where he is hooked up to view our splits and ratings as
well.
I really love the new features this
coxbox has. The connection for the mic is super simple and easier to
use. The timer and clock are also much easier to use and clear with the
top three buttons. And the best feature of all......it tells you exactly
how much battery life you have left! No more guesswork, you always
know.
As with all coxswains I am very protective
of my coxbox. With my pink bumper, my
coxbox is distinguishably mine. Everyone knows who the pink box belongs
to, no questions asked. The only question now is who I will leave it to
when I graduate!
