      Listening to the after race interviews.
      It sounds like America won and America lost.
      With a bit of help from the UK.

        Did anyone sink? They did one year, and I found that most interesting:)

          No, none sank Clueless but Cambridge made a hash of things just after the start by taking Oxfords water and colliding oars. :doh:Oxford won by eleven lengths, couldn't call it a race really.
