Over the years I've seen a variety of interesting courses being steered by coxes on the docks. I've always put this down to either inexperience or a desire to make the crew row as far as possible during the outing. The coxes themselves will probably blame their equipment ("The rudder is too small", "The fin is too big") or the crew ("Bow side are pulling too hard").
However I have found an interesting coxing tip that may account for this erratic rudder work.
So it seem the secret of a good outing is to feed your cox a quick strawpedo of fizzy wine before you leave the docks. I'm not sure if you get the same effect with sambuca though...
