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.
