Part of A men's four practicing

A men's four practices prior to a race. This photo is taken from behind the shell by a coaches' launch following the crew's practice. Note that the rowers are facing backward and cannot see where they are going without turning around. The person in the yellow shirt is the coxswain, and is responsible for steering the boat using a small rudder mounted beneath the shell. The coxswain also provides motivation to the rowers and keeps them focused during a race.
