Early on Saturday morning, the boat club arrived at Cambridge Winter Head to kick off this season’s racing. Despite the challenging course with its narrowness and tight turns, the club came away with both pride and lessons learned.

Thanks to great conditions and inter-squad comradery, spirits were high and support was strong on the banks whilst our crews raced. Whilst some crews were challenged greatly by the navigation of the course and the intense nature of overtaking, all squads had great success overall.
