The boat on the left is a coxless quad (4x-)made by Hale Racing Boats. If you click on different parts of the boat a window will (eventually) appear to tell you a little bit about it. Pretty dull, obvious stuff for rowers but if all you know about rowing is which teams compete in the Boat Race, you might find it interesting. | |
