Personally, the 1993 Cambridge crew were my favourite Boat Race crew ever. There was a real magic about them that year and they were like heroes to me. Some were saying that they were the first Olympic standard crew ever. I'd only been rowing a few years by then, was 19, and remember seeing them train from the Goldie boathouse. Will Mason's legs were massive! Interesting what they were saying about the late great Harry Mahon from about 10:24. I met him a couple of times in Cambridge and, while I was never coached by him, it was clear that he was the perfect technician. I also suspect that he was from the Arthur Lydiard (a fellow kiwi) school of endurance training - getting the extra miles in!
