2007 and anyone else I m curious about the result of the 2007 race It shows a winning time of 4 minutes 3 seconds This can not have taken place over the standard 2 km straight course unless Cambridge had an inboard motor fitted It also appears from other race reports that this year s result is not considered as the best ever time e g see the 2014 race report to whit winning by a margin of four lengths in a time of 5 minutes and 50 seconds just six seconds outside The Women s Boat Race record What happened in 2007
