A bowloader is a crew shell (a type of boat used in sport rowing) in which the coxswain lies semi- supine in the bow, as opposed to the normal seated position at the stern. Bowloaders are often seen as coxed fours and also coxed pairs, but there are a small number of bowloader eights that exist. A bowloader is both in theory and in practice faster than a stern-coxed boat since the mass of the coxswain in the bow reduces porpoising, and the semi-supine position puts the coxswain's center of mass below the waterline, reducing roll. This added stability reduces drag significantly. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bowloader"
