2022 has been a big year so far for St Andrew Boat Club. With the formal opening of their new boathouse on the canal at Meggetland back in January, the club was well set up for competing at Henley Royal Regatta. However, a junior boy’s quad in the Fawley and men’s eight in the Thames were not the only crews from the club rowing at the world-famous regatta this year.
On Friday 1st July, a St Andrew Boat Club crew took part in a celebratory row past at Henley Royal Regatta to mark the 175th Anniversary of the club (one year delayed). The crew, containing representatives of junior, women’s and men’s squads past and present along with those who have made a significant contribution towards the boathouse project through volunteering or donations is listed below:

Aberdeen University Boat Club also marked a significant milestone with a row past on Saturday 2nd July. Celebrations for their 150th Anniversary in 2020 were subdued due to the pandemic but they made up for it in style rowing the Henley Course with a mixed crew of former members.

Posted: 11 May 2022 The Munich International Junior Regatta took place on 7-8 May and four Scots were selected as part of a 30-strong group of athletes representing the GB Rowing Team. All three Scottish athletes in the junior women’s sweep group came home with two gold medals from the event. On Saturday, the junior women’s pair featuring Zoe (ASRA) and the junior women’s four which included Maisie (ASRA) and Amy (George Heriot’s School) both won gold medals in exciting finals. All three then combined as part of the four on Sunday to claim their second gold of the weekend. GB Start athlete Josh, representing Strathclyde Park Rowing Club, raced in the junior men’s double scull on Saturday and the quad scull on Sunday achieving a 12th and 9th place respectively in a competitive field. Munich had been the first taste of international competition for the GB Rowing Team Under 19 group since 2019 and these performances bode well as we move towards the final crew formation trials in July which will determine the crews for the World Rowing Under 19 Championships (Varese, 27-31 July) and the Coupe de la Jeunesse (Castrelo de Mino, 5-7 August).

A heavy tail wind on the day created difficult rowing conditions however the Scottish athletes were not put off recording strong performances across three of the four boat classes. The conditions forced a change to the published race format with a 1900 metre time trial seeding crews into side-by-side finals raced over 1000 metres.
