The race is divided into two days with novices racing a shorter course on day one and senior crews racing a full 4.3km course the following day.
It’s a head race so the crews go off one after another and are timed over the length of the course.
The two days of racing included some dramas for the Trinity Hall crews including a first day battle for the novice men’s first boat who were unlucky with traffic during their race and clashed with a boat on the course, slowing them considerably. The second day saw the senior men’s second boat suffering a broken rudder cable just before the start of the race (which didn’t impede them too much, as they came in second).
