A little more perspective
Empacher lists the X C R 80 racing eight at 17.25 meters long. This entry uses that named manufacturer design as a concrete example of the coxed-eight racing-shell class. The dimension follows the hull from bow to stern, with no rowers or oars included.
Racing shells of the same boat class do not all have one prescribed hull length. Empacher also lists a 0.55-meter waterline width for this design and a target rower-weight range of 85 to 100 kilograms. The model-specific length avoids presenting a generic Olympic boat category as a single standardized object.
