I watched it.....weird, I was quite into and comprehending of the "racecraft"...tho i couldn't shake the notion that a boat behind another would get a "tow" LOL....too much F1 this weekend.

However....they stuck the Oxford Cox's mic on air for about 5 seconds and he instantly let rip, loud and clear with "we're gonna FUCKING win this" or simmilar...at "stars on Sunday time" as Barney might call it......LOL and I thought it was only racing drivers who had NO savvy about such things (I think very often they do it on purpose in a childish way) hehehehe.

An interesting thing as well, to an avid WoTW fam like myself, is that obviously much of the book follows the Thames and the couurse of the Boatrace features a few times.. kept trying to visualise tripods and smoke and fire. Tragic, I know.
