The Aquinas crew had their share of boat issues on the way to the start. Dr Graham Mahony in speech gibem November 2025 on Aquinas rowing 1960-64 reported that 'Wild waves dashed the second VIII against a jetty. With sticking plaster covering numerous holes in the hull and tank, riggers bent back into approximate positions, the second eight excelled itself to win by two lengths from Christ Church and Scotch."
