The Eton crew bought some light-blue ribbon (which later became the standard Eton colours) to differentiate themselves, but the Westminster crew won the race and the right to wear pink in perpetuity.
Posádka Eton College koupila světle modrou stuhu (která se později stala standardní barvou Eton College), aby se od druhé posádky odlišila, ale posádka Westminster School vyhrála závod a právo nosit růžovou na neomezenou dobu.
