"Quintin, a smooth and powerful, though somewhat ungainly four won fairly easily" [The Times, reporting Marlow Regatta]
"Quintin had a close race with Combined Universities in their first heat but thereafter established a commanding lead early in each of their races. They had the same crew as in 1946 and were smooth and uniform." [HRR]
