...would make between a fast boat and a fast friend. In a situation like a mixed eight, where men and women are not separate, but not equal either, what standard of "athletic" can apply to the team?

...look--a straightaway, three-quarters of a mile. Then just when you think you've got it made, there's some clown sneaking up on your port side to challenge you for the inside of the turn. Weeks Bridge sports the trickiest turn in the course--you sort of want to aim for the outside edge of the center arch and turn sharply right before you enter the bridge.
