The boat race takes place this coming week.
What makes the event worthy of a quick note is that both Oxford and Cambridge mens’ boats will have french captains.
The Dark Blues will be captained by Tobias Bernard, a Londoner born to a French father and a Franco-American mother. The Light Blues will have three-time defending champion, Noam Mouelle. Noam reportedly took his first strokes at the age of 9 at his local club in Le Perreux-sur-Marne outside Paris. He has represented France at world championships up to under-23 level.
The races this year will be on Saturday 4 April 2026 starting at 14h21 (Women) and 15h21 (Men).
In between these are the Women’s and Men’s reserve crew races at 14h31 and 14h51.

“Faire une fausse pelle” is the normal expression for “catch a crab”, but apparently “se prendre un crabe” is creeping into the language. Where will it end?
Take your mind off Trump for a short while………..
