1954 Stanford Crew
and its 50th Reunion

What you see
above is a cardiologist's "dream": mostly 72 year-olds rowing
in a high tech, hyper carbon fiber,
starboard-rigged shell. The coxswain has a
Cox-BoxTM
(headband microphone, a mounted
amplifier/timer with speakers
throughout the boat) and a tiny tiller is integrated in a fixed fin
under the shell immediately behind
the cox.
50 years ago, most
shells were made of wood, had steel riggers and were only
port-rigged (you had to row port if you were a stroke [#8]); there
was a much larger hinged tiller at the tip of the stern; and the cox
had a headband megaphone (had to shout) and a mechanical stop watch
hanging from the neck. Click
here for more pictures.
