Royal West Regatta

Eleven hardy souls set off in the brilliant sunshine which changed to Scottish monsoon before lunch. Teriffic atmosphere at Greenock with our friends from Royal West, Queensferry, Anstruther and Troon along with those crazy Dutch guys who were camping in the garden. Success in the first long race saw a mixed crew of team Robertson (Phil, Sheena, Elisa, Finlay) and Medium row in some pretty challenging conditions to win by 40 seconds. Further success in men’s open and mixed open.

With most spoils being shared between ourselves and a huge contingent from Anstruther who brought two boats and  just pipped NBRC to first place losing by two points. A certain unnamed club member (Ed: Judas Sanderson) was toast of the journey home due to rowing in the men’s 40 plus for Anster and securing the elusive points.

Ridiculously wet but very enjoyable well done all.
