Molesey Regatta 20/7/2024
Jonathan K and myself racing in the masters C double sculls quarter final (850m) Staines Boat Club (C) vs Walbrook RC (C).
Congratulations on the win to Walbrook.
Unfortunately I managed to inspect the local foliage 250m into the course and lost us 15 seconds, we were already down by 2 1/2 lengths at this point.
After extracting ourselves and setting off again, I steered a much better course and we were making pretty good time
We ultimately lost by 5 lengths (12s) so I am pretty sure Wablrook rated down after they saw us in the trees.
Walbrook went on to win the semi final (easily) and the final by 3 lengths, so easily the best crew of the 6 in our class, unfortunately for us we met them in the first race.
I do have onboard footage from this event, but I have yet to create a video of it, I will update this post as and when I post that video.
The Staines BC masters ladies had a better time in their quad, winning their event
