Goldie/Isis times courtesy of
The Rowing Service
(which correctly points out that conditions can easily change during the
half hour between the reserve race & the blue boat race).
Page produced 6 Apr 03, updated 9 Apr 03. I hope my arithmetic is
correct; if not, please let
me know.
Record times here are unofficial (& disagree with those given in the
Boat Race official programme & with those in the British Rowing
Almanack).
The Almanack gives 2:46.5 for Oxford 2002 from Mile to Hammersmith, but this
was 3:38 to 6:23.5
It gives 2:46 for Oxford 1984 from Barnes Bridge to the Finish, but this
was 13:57 to 16:45.
