Two equally matched rowers race each other over courses as shown in Figure 1-6a. Each oarsman rows at speed c in still water; the current in the river moves at speed v. Boat 1 goes from A to B, a distance L, and back. Boat 2 goes from A to C, also a distance L, and back. A, B, and C are marks on the riverbank. Which boat wins the race, or is it a tie?
