Two crews from York competed at Henley Royal Regatta last week. The mens coxed 4 competed in the Britannia Challenge Cup but unfortunately were drawn against the favorites and eventual winners, Agecroft. The junior 16 quad also competed in the Fawley Challenge Cup but also lost in the first round by Borlase and Maidenhead R.C. The mens quad also entered but unfortunately were unable to qualify. A great time was had by all who attended the event.

The Womens Senior 8+ have won The Challenge Cup at Henley Women's Regatta, the first win for York at this Regatta! They completed the final in a time of 5 minutes and 4 seconds, beating Vesta Rowing Club by half a length. The womens 4+ who also qualified sadly were knocked out in the first round. Congratulations to all crews who raced!
The mens 4+ have pre-qualified for Henley Royal Regatta along with the junior quad. Lets hope they can repeat the success of the women!

Yes, we've got another boat to name on Sunday 29th at 12 Noon. This time we have a double which we'll be naming Galmanho. Galmanho was the name of the settlement outside the city walls in the Marygate area. Hope to see everyone there! We'll be opening the bar for the boat race afterwards.

YCRC did well at the HORR last weekend with the Mens 1st eight starting 115th and finishing 93rd overall. The Vets also raced at the Vets HORR coming 5th out of 14 in our Vet B category with a very enjoyable row on the Thames, overtaking 2 crews in the process. They came 34th overall. The Veteran Squad is now looking towards the summer and is working to be present at several summer regattas still to be confirmed.

The Women Squad took two boats to Women's Head of the River coming 41st and 82nd!
