Festive fashion There are 248 rowers in action; 31 in the men's single scull, 55 in the women's single scull, 70 in the men's pairs, 63 in the lightweight men and 29 in the lightweight women's single scull.
As well as a boat, oars and thermal undies, it seems the essential accessory for a rower is wellies.
