Hard to believe that it all began with this post, our Statement of ...

Here’s a coxswain’s-eye view of the Overpeck 2K race course for rowing. It is filmed from my single but speeded up to cover the course in about 3 minutes. I tried to steer in the middle of the three lanes. You can see that there are stake boats, buoys every 500m, and a new pair […] ...
With the Henley Boat Races (including the Newton Women's Boat Race—see here for race video) in the books already, and so much focus on the Tideway in London this weekend, it's important to remember that another heated rivalry was recently renewed just across the Irish Sea, when University College Dublin took on Trinity College in the 2014 edition of the Dublin Boat Races.

The first of today's videos comes to us from the Netherlands, where the Heineken Roeivierkamp 2014 took place recently in the heart of Amsterdam. The video features some slick editing, nice shots of rowing, and a few interviews for those of you in the audience who can speak Dutch.
