Notes

• 8 days: Mon 28, Wed 30 April, Fri 2, Sat 3, Mon 5, Wed 7, Fri 9 and Sat 10 May 1845
• The number of days' racing seems to have been fixed at 8 from this year until 1877, reducing to 6 thereafter.
• Oriel didn't race on the last day so lost one place
• Notes from Sherwood
  • This year an amalgamated crew of Corpus and Magdalen put on on the fourth night in an outrigger built by Venables. The combination was named 'Caudlen'.
  Although Sherwood says 'fourth' night, his bumps chart suggests that they first rowed on the third night.
