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 the Boat Race only three days away, on Wednesday the Cambridge Men’s Blue Boat and Goldie, the men’s reserve crew, paddled over the course together, shadowed by both a press boat and a launch carrying Old Light Blues. The crews did some low rating pieces under the umpireship of supporting coach and Boat Race legend, Donald Legget, a man who has coached a CUBC crew every year since 1968.
