Staines Regatta 2024

Staines Regatta 27/07/2024

Our home regatta, where I am competing in a double and a quad on Saturday, we also entered a double for Sunday, but our entry was rejected due to a lack of competition.

Masters E/F 2x semi final with Mark F (850m)

Staines Boat Club (E) vs Eton Excelsior RC (E).

Managed to bump a bush 250m into the course, but didn’t really affect us, very close race, a win to Staines by 1/2 length

 

Winning time was 3:21

Masters E/F 2x final with Mark F (850m)

Staines Boat Club (E) vs Eton Excelsior RC (F), (Eton had a 10s head start).

Eton were over 4 lengths away from us before we started, we did our best to chase them down, I steered a much better course this time.

A win to Eton by 1 1/2 lengths, 10s was just too much for us to chase down over 850m

Winning time was 3:36

I failed to hit start on the GoPro, so no onboard footage for today.

Masters C 4x final with Mark F, myself, Mark G and Jonathan K (850m)

Staines Boat Club (C) vs Walbrook RC (C).

They had us on the start, we rowed through them and stayed ahead for most of the race, we went a little wide at the finish and unfortunately they snuck up the inside for the win.

win to Walbrook by a canvas.

Winning time was 3:04
