The annual Boat Race moved from Queen's Park pond to Maxwell Park pond about 1990. It was probably around this time that entries became even more competitive and outrageous.On the left is an early proto-type of the type of entry that would increasingly dominate the 'manned' section of the race. Observe firstly the notion that it might be a good idea to try and water-ski across a park pond, secondly that this could be achieved using a plank of wood and some washing line, and thirdly that enough momentum could be generated by 4 guys pulling said washing line from the other side of the pond! What could possibly go wrong?
