"Lutz started at 31½, Trinsey at 38. Trinsey led by nearly a length at the top of the Island, but they were level at the Barrier. A close race developed. Neither could gain more than a few feet. Lutz fell out of his boat 100 yards from the Finish, and Trinsey sculled on alone." [HRR]

"R Lutz, Quintin BC, rowed a grand race against the brilliant American, JH Trinsey. The latter had to go all out to lead by a little over a length at the enclosure, when alas! Lutz, completely rowed out, hit the booms and overturned. It was a very gallant effort by a comparatively unknown oarsman." [The Times]

(In most of 1949's other regattas Lutz sculled as Crowland RC rather than as Quintin, and he sculled as Crowland in the Diamonds in the three following years.)
