Independent Schools/Club Regatta

We participated in our final regatta of the season on a damp Sunday at the Botanical Garden. The morning started with torrential rain but by the time the racing started we had just a slight drizzle and light winds. Below is a short video of the MN8 start. The glassy conditions were the best we've had all season!

Below are the results. No wins, other than the WV4 crew's heat win, but a number of best times on this course. The Charlie squared double (soon to be re-named "Hypotenuse") bettered their time from last week's championship by over 13 seconds. Likewise, the WV4 crew rowed their fastest time of the season from the starting platform, bettering their best time in the EVSRA championships last week by over 10 seconds (and their 2017 gold medal winning time of 6:45.4 in last year's EVSRA Championship (albeit in the W2V4 event) by close to a full minute.)  

There were some interesting results from the guys' crews. Both the M2V4 crew in event 10 and the MN4 crew (who rowed exhibition) in event 17 bettered the times of the MV4 and MN4 crews in events 3 and 15 respectively.

The coxswain's race! Usually we tell rowers not to look at their blades, but maybe we should ask coxswains to watch theirs (three seat who shall remain nameless...)
