Generally speaking, no. Steerers will paddle iron or without change, staying put for the duration of the race. This means they must stay well hydrated and in the case of the longer races, consume concentrated carbohydrates to keep going for over 4 hours. Crews generally have one specialist steerer, so if they do take a break it may be for a short time before returning to steer.
