Lede

From "Crews": The Cambridge crew weighed an average of 12 st 2.875 lb (77.3 kg), 1.875 pounds (0.9 kg) per rower more than their opponents. If this is too much, then you can mention how many crew members returned from previous races on each crew.
Expanded a touch. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Race

The Rambling Man, I've completed this review. This article is quite comprehensive and well written, and I commend you on expanding the lede compared to previous Boat Race articles. I've made a few suggestions above. Once everything has been addressed, I feel comfortable passing this to Good Article status. -- Caponer (talk) 17:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded in-line above, thanks again for your interest. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man, thank you for your swift addressing of all the above comments and questions. I expanded my Safari window a bit and the images fit snugly between the table and the right margin so all is well. Congratulations on a job well done, sir. -- Caponer (talk) 21:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
