...University crew management has recently announced the receipt of a gift of a new eight oared shell from Mrs. Robert L. Bacon of New York. The order has just been placed with George Sims and Son of Putney, England, the same firm which has made several shells for the crew. The new shell will arrive in time for the intercollegiate races late in the spring...
...crews rowed up-stream above the Stillman Infirmary in short stretches, but did not remain out long because of the cold wind. The University crew went out for the first time in the new English boat received last fall from Sims & Son, of Putney, England which was presented by W.C. Baylies '84. A temporary change was made in the boat, Hooper rowing 4 in place of Bacon who was absent. Coach Wray supervised the work of the University crews from his single and spent considerable time on the first Freshman boat...
...University boat club has recently received a new English shell, the gift of W. C. Baylies '84. The shell was made by the firm of George Sims & Son, the noted boat-builders, of Putney, England.

Except for a few minor differences, this boat is built on the same plan as last season's shell, which was also the gift of Mr. Baylies, and built by Sims. After the trial...

It is 63 feet in length, 18 inches longer than the shell used at New London last June; and 24 1-2 inches in breadth in-board, one-half inch broader than last year's boat. The seats, according to the English custom, are placed alternately on either side of the centre, each being three inches from the middle line. This makes possible the use of shorter out-riggers, thus diminishing the amount of power lost...
...shell, which is of a different model from any heretofore used by the University crews, was built by Sims, the noted English boat-builder, at Putney, England. Its dimensions are about 63 feet in length, beam, amidships, 23 1-4 inches, depth 9 1-2 inches, amidships, 6 1-2 inches forward and 5 1-2 inches aft. The main difference in the appearance of the English shell from those built in America is in the arrangement of the thwarts which are placed in two distinct alternating rows. The advantage claimed by this arrangement of the seats is that greater...
