The Women’s Head of the River kicked off the Tideway racing season in spectacular style as over 250 eights took to the Thames to compete over the reverse championship course (Chiswick to Putney). Crews racing in WinTech Racing & King Racing shells  once again found themselves at the forefront of the action, with several of these crews achieving results of significant note.

Our highest finishing crew was the Leander Club ‘C’ boat, who placed 11^th overall and raced in a brand-new King Racing Shell. The King Racing 8+ has set records worldwide and is used in rowing clubs all around the world. King has quickly become a preferred racing shell in boathouses across the US and now the UK is starting to follow suit following its extremely successful results across the pond. 

Leander RC took the overall headship and all four of their crews finished inside the top 15, once again reiterating their status as one of the country’s premier rowing organisations.

We were delighted to see Notts County Rowing Association win the Provincial Small Club pennant, finishing 30^th overall in their King Racing 8+ & WinTech RDS Blades and continuing to build on the impressive momentum the club are currently enjoying. Read more about the amazing journey NCRA have been on over the past ten years in our latest club spotlight.

Tideway Scullers had a phenomenal day, finishing third overall and boating six crews across all categories to great acclaim. Their ‘F’ crew went off in position 247 but finished 35^th overall, racing in a King SE 8+, and placed fifth in School/Junior Eights. For the club to boat six competitive eights, with varying age groups and abilities on show, is a tribute to the strength and depth of the program and we look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with this centre of excellence.

Finishing in 41^st place on-board a WinTech were Exeter University’s A crew, who placed second in Challenge Academic Eights in their WinTech Cobra 8+. There were numerous other strong finishes involving WinTech boats, across clubs like London RC, Glasgow University Boat Club, Vesta Rowing Club and Nottingham University.

WEHORR often signals the start of a flurry of head races involving the country’s fastest clubs, schools and universities. With the Oarsport Junior Sculling Head and Head of the River Race yet to come, we’re really excited to see more promising results and wins in WinTech shells and particularly look forward to watching racing narratives unfold over the coming months.
