Rowers

As a former eight myself I find myself wondering about a couple of things Alex will appreciate.

1. When did the sliding seat come into use.
2. That's one BIG coxie
3. I guess 6 seat can't work that hard if he needs a big sweater like that, and how does he keep it from getting in his way.

Rowing history

Please keep coming with these historic rowing photographs. As a former eight oar shell rower in the sixties I like them very much!
