boat race
Contest on water
A boat race is a competition between watercraft, typically rowing shells, kayaks, or sailboats, racing over a set course.
The term is most associated with prestigious rowing events like the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race on the Thames.
In British rhyming slang, boat race means face: Look at the state of his boat race after that fight.
