An estimated 700 competitors, race officials, coaches and supporters visited the Island over the weekend for the Ryde Regatta and Shanklin Rowing Club's Regatta.
Junior rowers from Ryde were racing against some some of the top Junior crews in the country at the weekend, Well done to them for their great efforts.
Travelling to the idyllic riverside setting of Christchurch, Dorset for the annual Head of the Stour, Shanklin Sandown Rowing club were ably represented by five crews, over the two mile course.
It was a rather lack luster performance from Ryde’s Boys J16 Coxed Four of Dom Douglas, Ben Toms, Joel Smith, Jacob Redstone and Cox Austin Smith at the Itchen Eights & Fours Head of the River Race on Sunday (8th February) in their first race of 2015 season.
