The Boat Club competes primarily in Torpids and Summer Eights bumps races in Oxford.

Bulteel became a Fellow of Exeter College in 1823, and the Boat Club seemes to have been formed at that time.

[3] Exeter College Boat Club first took part in Summer Eights in 1824, with Bulteel stroking.

That year they rowed in the famous "White Boat", which had been built in the Plymouth dockyard, and brought to Oxford by Brasenose College boatman, Stephen Davis.

Being a coastal boat, it was found to sit too high out of the water to be rowed effectively on the Isis.

It was presumably these colours which were used for racing kerchiefs, recorded in the Exeter College Boat Club Treasurer's Book as being purchased in 1844.
