Subject: RE: BS: Boat Race Appalling BBC Coverage
If you can’t see a difference between races between the two top U.K. Universities’ rowing clubs, restricted to Elite-standard oarsmen/women who are studying at those two establishments, where two boats race side by side, and a ‘processional’ time-trial competition involving several hundred crews and boats, open to oarsmen/women of all standards from any ARA affiliated club, and from any social and educational background, I don’t think I can help you any further.

Other than to point out that there are rowing regattas taking place all over the country through the summer, where individuals and crews, of every social and educational backgrounds, from the several hundred rowing clubs in the UK, compete at all levels for trophies, and to progress through the various recognised levels of proficiency according to ARA regulations.

So yes, there are lots of ‘other ones’.
