Comments: In the 2V race there was significant steering problems from Texas and NU. Texas was in BU's lane (who was the center crew) for the 1st 1000 meters - the referee gave them warnings. In the 3rd 500 BU had pulled even with NU, NU then steered in to BU, with Texas squeezing from the other side. BU did not have a lane of their own lane in the last 500 meters. It is my judgement that these problems would not have changed Texas winning but it had a significant affect on the race unfolding between NU and BU.
