The GB Rowing Team Under 19 Regatta took place on Sunday at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham, with Scotland’s junior rowers excelling despite the challenging circumstances.
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.

Scottish Rowing today publishes its new strategic plan for the next 3 years to 2025, following an extensive period of review and consultation with members, partners and stakeholders.
This plan comes after a period of significant disruption because of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only within the sport but across society. As we rebuild after this extensive disruption to activities through the COVID-19 lockdowns, there is an increased focus on the importance of physical activity for physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Our ambitious plan sets out how rowing can play its part in helping to get people more active - whether that is through trying rowing for the first time, becoming a club member, being an athlete with aspirations to perform on the world stage or giving their time as a volunteer to help make the sport happen.
