Oxford (who won the toss & raced on Surrey) won the 160th Boat Race by 11 lengths. In a clash at about 5:10 into the race, the Cambridge 2 man caught a crab, missed a number of strokes, and damaged his rigger.

Isis (who lost the toss & raced on Middlesex) won the reserves race half an hour earlier by 13 lengths.

Record times here are unofficial (& disagree in some cases with those which have been given in the Boat Race official programme, but you can see whether you agree with their arithmetic or mine).
