Attracted by the prospect of some beautiful scenery, warm weather and Italian cuisine many members of the Scottish Rowing Masters contingent made the journey to Varese for the World Rowing Masters Regatta. Once again there was a record number of entries from all over the world with approximately 3,500 rowers competing and over 9,000 racing seats occupied over the 2 full and 2 half days of racing.
Clubs represented by Scotland were Inverness, Aberdeen, Strathclyde Park, St Andrew, Loch Lomond, Clydesdale and Nithsdale. The trailer towed by Steven Kerr and Iain Wilson was impressively loaded with little space to spare. (Enough however for a couple of new Filippi singles to make the return journey!!)

A year ago Polly Swann was reflecting on what could have been after injury robbed her of a chance of making the women’s eight for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Scottish Rowing is pleased to announce the appointment of Amanda Cobb as Chief Operating Officer.

Mike Morrice, President of Scottish Rowing said: ‘This appointment is a major step forward for Scottish Rowing and we all look forward to working with Amanda to ensure Scottish Rowing continues to grow and be successful on all fronts.’

SIX SCOTTISH ROWERS have today been selected as part of the GB Rowing Team for the World Championships in Chungju, Korea later this month.

After completing a hat-trick of 2013 World Cup gold medals, Edinburgh’s Polly Swann will once again take to the start line alongside Olympic Champion Helen Glover in the women’s pair. The duo have been unbeatable since they teamed up at the start of the year, collecting victories on the waters of Sydney, Eton Dorney and Lucerne.

Dumfries Schools Rowing Association athlete Calum Michael has claimed four medals, including two golds rowing for GB, at the 2013 Coupe de la Jeunesse in Lucerne, Switzerland. The annual "Coupe" event is regarded as one of Europe's most prestigious U18 international regattas and this year took place on the historic Rotsee course.
