The Rowing Eight

Mary-Ann Ochota discovers how the rowing eight - the fastest rowing boat in the world - developed from working boats on the Thames, when river-taxi men would race their boats for a bit of fun and a spot of gambling.

Through the centuries racing has become more formal, from the Doggett's Coat And Badge race - still going strong on the Thames after nearly 300 years and open only to apprentices working on the river - to the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race and the Henley Royal Regatta, where elite crews compete from all over the world.

At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely.
