One facing the crew, informally

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cox

(Other definitions for cox that I've seen before include "Steersman" , "Passenger vehicle" , "Steerer of oarsmen in rowing boat" , "Boat's steerer" , "He's in charge of a racing boat and its rowers" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
