• And so here we are again... I'll make a start a little later on this, but the horror of lunch at the in-laws awaits first. – SchroCat (talk) 08:03, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Again, all very nicely put together. A couple of minor points to address:

Background

• "Both crews rowed in boats built by Sims using Ayling oars.[9]" Sims built the boats using oars?

  Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

• "Evans, writing in The Manchester Guardian predicting that the Light Blues would "win with comparative ease"." I think losing the "predicting" would improve the sentence

  Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Crews

• "jointly the crews were the heaviest in the history of the event": is that ever, or up to that point?

  At the time. Added. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Race

• Can you link "canvas-length" again?

  Yes, done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

• Done, thanks, and happy Easter. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:38, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

• All good for a pass from me. Well done on another one - and happy Easter too! - SchroCat (talk) 20:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
