Thames Cup VIII 1961.
The major Thames regattas used to offer two events for Senior (what would now be Elite) VIIIs - Grand Eights and Thames Cup VIIIs, intended to correspond with the two events at Henley. In 1961 Quintin won Thames Cup VIIIs at Marlow, Molesey and Kingston - all premier regattas in their day, and can be seen here displaying their trophies (can anyone identify which trophy is which?).
