So, with Juniors on Friday, seniors on Saturday and Masters on Sunday this has the makings of the biggest 3-day #rowing festival in Britain (& maybe Europe). Potentially over 1000 crews could race during the 3 days
Big changes for the Fours ahead 2025 with the split between senior and junior events. Should hopefully free up space for all senior crews to race that want to, and also that the junior event quickly establishes itself as a major event in the junior calendar fourshead.org/2025/04/08/c...
Changes to Fours Head Events following the launch of the Junior Fours Head
The Committee of the Fours Head warmly welcomes the addition of the Junior Fours Head to the racing calendar. As our race has been over-subscribed for many years, it is clear that more racing capac…

Just wondering if, with everything going on in the USA at the moment, the prospect of studying and #rowing at an American University will become less and less attractive to non-Americans.

CUBC have named their reserve crews for #TheBoatRace the women’s reserve crew (Blondie) are coxed by Louis De Neve who, at 193cm, is the tallest in the crew and possibly the tallest cox to ever race in either reserves or Blue Boat

Strong result for both Thames Rowing Club and Molesey Boat Club, 2nd and 3rd behind a star-studded NED W8 at the Heineken in Amsterdam #rowing

Could we see mixed 2X and 8+ (with mandatory doubling-up) at the #LA2028 #Olympics ? The proposal is being discussed at the World Rowing Congress

So a pet hate of mine (one of many as I get older and grumpier) why do clubs refer to their crews as 1V and 2V this makes me think they’re rowing a 5. It usually means “Varsity” which is a University team not a club….how hard is it to write 1st VIII instead??

Watching #DriveToSurvive storylines feel a little clunky….”Sainz has to perform”…he wins “Lando no wins”….he wins….”Leclerc Monaco curse”….Leclerc wins Monaco….all feels a bit contrived

Only just realised that there are only 2 World Rowing Cup Regattas this season rather than the usual 3 (Varese and Lucerne)

Obviously those 19th Century Eton #rowing types were a bit dodgy 🤣 (taken from Viceroys: The Creation of the British” by Christopher Lee).
