What does the cryptic crossword clue "Crew said something at Chiswick in Boat Race (4)" mean?

The definition is "something at Chiswick in Boat Race". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). pronounced properly it sounds like “eight” as in rowing crew. I knew Chiswick EYOT was an island in the Thames but had to ponder between EYOT and AYOT for a while, as AIT means island too and there was scope for pondering. The answer is EYOT.

Crew said something at Chiswick in Boat Race (4)
