Goldie, rowing crew


Goldie is the second boat of the Cambridge University Boat Club, which competes in an annual rowing race against Isis (the second boat of the Oxford University Boat Club) on Boat Race Day each year. The boat is named in tribute to CUBC's legendary President John Goldie who also gave his name to the Goldie Boathouse. The first official race between the two crews was in 1965, which Isis won. Since the race started Goldie has won 29 races, and Isis 22 races.

The members of the Goldie boat are coached throughout the season by the coaching staff of the Cambridge University Boat Club. Their most notable coach in the latter 20th and early 21st centuries has been Donald Legget who has been involved in the coaching setup for over 40 years. Other notable coaches include Ian Dryden, Rob Baker, Harry Mahon, Mark Hall, Robin Williams, Tim McLaren, Duncan Holland, Chris Nilsson, Edouard Blanc and Mark Beer.
