Regatta Info


The Rabbit's Guide to Henley   More info on the Henley Regatta can be found at this link.  This is quite a good read and I think it gives a very realistic, if irreverent,  appraisal of all that Henley has to offer.  The Rabbit also talks about the 'Junior Rowing Parent' as the scourge of the event - somehow, I am going to have to try and contain myself!!


Video of the Royal Henley  Here is another interesting link that will give you a bit of what it is like to be there .


Harvard v Molesey  And finally, here is a race, filmed from the umpire's launch.  This reinforces what the Rabbit talks about regarding etiquette in the launch.  Here, as the Harvard boat wins, the person taking the video is having difficulty containing his enthusiasm and the other member in the launch simply says 'congratulations', as though he has just spelled his name correctly!!

What a year this has been! 

Brentwood Regatta, Opening Day in Seattle, School Boys in St Catherines were all fantastic achievements......all on the road to The Royal Henley.  Friends and family of this crew could not have had a better ride than we have had this year and it is all due to this incredible group of athletes and their Coach, Tim Coy
