Rowing terms in different languages
There are a number of useful resources on the www listing rowing terms in different languages. This page aims to list some of these, but many of the older ones may well now be unavailable. If you have any additions or corrections to these urls (including finding the lost links), please let me know.

I have also been reminded that coxing terms in different languages are
included in Tom Hooper's book "Coxing - Surviving the Wilderness Years"
ISBN 0 9535185 0 7.
There are, of course, glossaries in numerous other books, and a beginner's
guide to some of the strange rowing terms in English is in one of the books
from Michael Jones.
