OUCH!
The snowy weather was more than just a quirky  detail of the event for Brown’s women: they lost the sterns of two  shells to a falling branch while parked overnight in Princeton. It was  not even a particularly big branch, but falling from sixty feet up, it  did the trick. Fortunately, Brown was still able to able to race in the  shells that escaped the blow and some borrowed boats.
