CRA crews, event categories are defined as per criteria set out in CRA
winter league races (see * below for full details).



As usual we will be awarding tankards to category winners (if collected at

beer). The fastest crews will also be awarded the John Stewart (Men’s) or
Helen Patterson (Women’s) Trophy. Additionally we will have tankards for
Champion Coxes awarded based on lines taken around Ditton corner, and crew
awards for the best start as judged plus the opportunity to take home a
Magnum of Champagne for the fastest crew that breaks the current course
record (Men's record held by LMBC M1 set in 2018, Women's record held by
Cantabs Senior Women set in 2018).



The prize giving will be held at Clare boat house from approximately 16:30
on race day.
