Rowers: is it fair for a sculling quad to race against a coxed eight?

Today, my novice girls team (most of us have only been rowing for one season) had a scrimmage against a few other novice boats, including a sculling quad. The sculling quad had a short headstart, though we still beat them. Did we beat them because of our "power" or because it's simply unfair for a sculling quad to be racing against an eight?

As a general rule, the more rowers the faster the boat. An eight man boat is about 10-15 seconds faster than a quad scull (with or without a cox) in a 2,000 meter race. If you look at racing results on a given regatta, you will usually see that this 10-15 second rule is true.

Here are some links with 2,000 meter racing times in them so you can compare.

As a general rule, a coxless is faster than a coxed, a scull is faster than a sweep, and the eight man is the fastest boat of them all.

If you want a real race, pit your bow four against your stern four. As a cox, you will never see your teammates pull so hard in their lives (using two separate 4 man sweeps, of course.) Now that's a good time.
