Yale Crew Might Face Cornell Henley Eight This Season
Yale coach Bob Gook favors a season race between Yale's crew and Cornell's Henley eight. Cornell’s Henley shells, built by Waters of Troy, measure 60 feet by 24 inches and weigh 280 pounds each, costing 1200 dollars. The Henley crew stands high academically with half the men holding fellowships in tough courses. The Valkyrie reportedly carries over 20,000 square feet of sails, near 3,000 feet more than the Prince of Wales yacht and more than the American Defender is expected to carry.
