Donald MacDonald is a father of 3. it was ridiculous having a father of 3 in the boat race. The race is supposed to be students. Since when are university students parents? I rowed at university. None of the students, were parents. I do remember 1 guy doing a PhD, in the boat club, but if they did have kids, they would not have announced it. He was 21 straight from Oxford. So I doubt he had kids.

Have you figured out a way to get rid of the jump when switching between landing and other flight modes? I've run into this problem when programming my first DLG. It's not a deal breaker, but would love to find a clever way to avoid this. Leaving out a landing mode avoids the jumps but then flap throws vary between flight modes which seems less than optimal as well.

@pgleesonuk5 жыл бұрын
Agree, get tactical move. In this case fortune favoured the brave. I don't entirely agree about your conclusion if Cambridge held course. It was sinking weather, the waves were huge. Also, the design of the Oxford riggers was also an important factor. In this race we did not have the standard Empacher 2 tube rigger, but a single aero (hydro) shaped. It might we shipped way less water and cut through the waves better. After this Cambridge change to this rigger style as well... Same for the wooden oars in 1988.
@richtalk345 жыл бұрын
Thanks for posting. On a technical point, speaking as a former cox, Cambridge lost it in the first half mile. By following Oxford, ending up in no-mans land, and creating doubt throughout their boat they handed the race to Oxford on a platter. If Cambridge had rowed a conventional course off the start they would have won easily. So, a brilliant tactical manoeuvre by Oxford and well done to them.
@benlewis24754 жыл бұрын
richtalk34 if they had held their course they would likely have sunk. Genius move by OUBC 7 man and it left CUBC no option but to follow. But to maintain they would have won easily is probably a bit off the mark.
@richtalk344 жыл бұрын
@@benlewis2475, thanks for your reply; good points all. It's true, Cambridge might well have sunk but, had they made it through to the Hammersmith Bridge on the faster water they could well have had a sizable lead. Interesting to speculate, though, and it shows that there are many factors in that race, which makes it fascinating. A shame it will not be held this year.

Glad you enjoyed it. A race like no other. Many factors contributed to our victory. Not least the weather and Andy's (cox) steering. Heavy wooden oars (we changed to them just 2 weeks before the race) Aerofoil riggers to cut through the waves rather than hit them throwing water everywhere. Enormous bow breaker and wide splash boards. Some sharks skin covering on the hull (no banned). Basically we did everything to keep the water out. Cambridge took on loads of water as they crossed over to join us under the wall. That was the decisive moment.

About a month before the race Cambridge were pretty confident because the University of London had destroyed Oxford in Tideway pieces. But then CUBC raced London and also got destroyed.....right in front of the Oxford crew boating at Putney. It should be noted, ULBC also raced the Oxford Pre-Mutiny boat. Including Lyons et al. That boat was MUCH faster than the eventual Blue Boat. This was not a high-quality year. Tom C-H .......ULBC legend.

Hi Daragh. Yes, it brings back great memories. But you missed the film version of True Blue! (1996) A terrible film but with some actors who are quite famous now. Including Darcey Bussel! I would not claim this film was the springboard to their success :-)

Great to see the race. I left school in 1986 and vaguely remember the Furore in the build up. Since then, I have read both books about the ‘mutiny’ events - True Blue and The Yanks at Oxford. I’m sure the truth is somewhere in the middle. It was an impressive victory in the end. Good memories for you, Paul, I’m sure. Thanks for sharing.

I meant to say, making so many Chinees do degrees, just waisted their time and ,messed them about. The same applies now with mass university education. The sort of person who would become a bricklayer or chef or labourer, or airport host or hotel worker or taxi driver, would not have the right interllect for doing a degree, being high IQ is also not a qualification for doing a degree. Degrees need the right interllect and aptitude for a subject.
