It sounds like a tough task but it often happens: it is known as an "over-bump". "Double over-bumps" (moving up 5 places) are seen from time to time and even "triple over-bumps" (moving up 7 places), though rare, do happen: twice in the 2001 May Bumps, for example. For comprehensive information on how the bumps work and the results archive, go to First and Third's (Trinity College's) website. If you are in the UK, try and go to this year's event - Wed-Sat next week (15-18 June). It's great fun!
But the boat behind them is surely very unlikely to catch up the boat ahead if the two intervening boats have moved to the bank aren't they ?
