The boat glides beneath me, we paddle along at a loose and light pace, the push and send of the boat mesmerising in its simplicity. The shell beneath us ploughs on, and in the boat the 5 of us are grinning from […]

Many of you will have heard about the controversy over the result of Women’s Division 1 on Saturday. Pembroke appealed to the race committee that they had bumped Balliol shortly before their 3 girl caught a crab and consequently stopped their boat pretty much dead. Yesterday evening, the race committee decided on the balance of [...]

Sorry just checking my autotweet settings. We’ll try to announce winners and losers tomorrow, with their next races.

We will try to maintain an updated list of results here throughout the regatta.
