The men's heavies and lights are each entering a championship eight crew, a championship four, a club eight and a youth eight, but all eyes are fixed on the most important class of boats.
But don't bet the ranch on the Crimson winning the overall lightweight eight race just yet. There are still other non-collegiate crews they need to worry about, namely the U.S. and Canadian national teams.

World champions Frans Goebel of Belgium and Elisabeta Lipa of Romania are scheduled to test their abilities on the Charles, as are other world championship medalists from West Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and the Soviet Union.
