some, but not others, and eight of the thirteen boats achieved top three finishes in at least one race. As will be seen from the results table, the HQ Infantry boat, helmed by Carron Snagge and Peter Balls (and others, as only three races per helm was the rule) dominated throughout, but others had their moments of glory (and despair).
