This website covers all aspects of the rich history of rowing, as a sport, culture phenomena, a life style, and a necessary element to keep your wit and stay sane.
With three days to go before Boat Race Day, the press launch followed the Cambridge men in the morning and the Oxford women in the afternoon. The weather was pleasant enough for the first outing but wet and windy for the second. However, poor conditions are probably better preparation for race day as the forecast for Sunday is heavy rain and 18 mile per hour winds with a temperature of 11C/52F. Thankfully, the race is not on Saturday when 40 mile per hour winds are forecast between 2pm and 5pm.
