1st round
Won against Jesus II (1 length)
It came as some surprise to the see the guys moving up off the start - despite some shocking bladework!! Moreover, they quickly gained half a length's advantage, extending this to 3/4 of a length during the middle part of the race. Jesus refused to fold, however, and continued to apply the pressure - closing the gap back to 1/2 a length around their corner on the approach to the finish. However, they were denied the chance of advancing any further by their cox steering them in to our boat; heavy blade clashing saw the end of their challenge and should have been the end of their race. [by the webmaster]
