Bumps, Blades, and Bowballs- Cambridge Boatie Chat

oh well. i'm men's captain for the club next year, and given our first and second boats will be looking pretty similar in a year's time, i'm hoping to lead us to success (i.e. for one, get head of the river!!)

Hypothetical situation:

You have 4/5 ex-M1 rowers. Do you:

a) Put them in your M3 and get blades, or

b) Put them in your M2 and help them avoid spoons?

Never mind new guys, where the **** are all the coxes?

Ditto. We are so short on coxes atm. We have one dedicated cox (FTB) who coxes the men 3+ times a week, and the women are just taking turns, such that people who'd rather row end up coxing and getting pissed off.

http://www.doodle.com/ FTW.

We use google docs to do basically that, but with more options, but it still doesn't work.

hi

Were you the sculler my IV nearly crashed into this morning?

yes.

Were you the sculler my IV nearly crashed into this morning?

Epic fail.

Next time, tip the ****** in.

What exactly is the format of the uni IVs races?

For women, it's side-by-side from (I think) the first post out of Ditton to Top Finish.

For men, it's a chase over pretty much the whole course - you have a staggered start (several lengths, much more space than bumps) and finish and marshals at both finishes to see who crosses the "line" first.

Wow, sounds fun... Not looking forward to rowing the whole river after my crew's minimal amount of slightly shambolic training
