It's your elite crews who are likely to be in boats which are unbuoyant
becuase all the club has cared about whether the boat will go fast rather
whan will it float. Anyone who went out and raced in today's conditions in a
boat without sealed compartments needs their head examining.- Hide quoted text -

I disagree. The elite boats have the newest constructions which for
Empacher is Buoyant and many others. The older boats are rowed by less
experienced crews and more likely to be less buoyant.

I think who ever allowed this to start was criminally insane. It
should have been clearly obvious what was gonna happen
