Crew member who never does a stroke (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coxswain

(Other definitions for coxswain that I've seen before include "Lifeboat helmsman" , "Steerer on boat" , "one over the eight" , "Boat steersman" , "Person in charge of a lifeboat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
