When executing 'Bank the oars, Rotate', how do positions move from the coxswain's perspective?

Bank the oars and rotate reorders the crew around the boat. When the coxswain banks the shell and then rotates, every rower shifts one seat in the same direction seen from the stern—so they move to the seat on their right. From the cox’s viewpoint, that progression is a clockwise shift by one position, which keeps the order consistent while changing who sits where. If you imagined the rowers’ seats circling the boat, you’d see a single-step clockwise rotation, not staying in place or moving more than one seat.
