March Update
Mar 9, 2011 at 8:58AM We have now had the first Head race of the year at Christchurch. With 16 crews representing Lymington our main problem was getting all the boats there in the first place. There were wins for Alex Barnes (River Nov Scull) & Mike Leyland-Jones (Coastal Junior Scull) in addition to several second places. The strongest field was Coastal Novice 4 where Lymington had 2 crews in the field of 14. One crew was 6th, while the other was heading for a top 3 finish before a seat problem lead to a DNF.

The New Coastal four is ready and will be launched on Saturday 9th April at 4pm. All club members are welcome to attend. This will probably turn into a bit of a party afterward.
The 157th University Boat Race is on Saturday 26 March at 5pm. Come and watch it at the club and enter our sweepstake. The club will be open from 4pm.
