This weekend saw the 30th anniversary of the Henley Women’s Regatta, the finest event for women in the UK with over 1500 crews participating. It was a hot and humid affair and with little rain the preceding weeks, records fell across the board.

There was a high level of competition in all events and some very close and exciting racing. Leading off the start was no guarantee of anything with many leads changing several times over the course. Henley Women’s Regatta is run over the Henley Royal Regatta Course utilising the start but stopping short of the HRR enclosure making it a 1,500m course.

Henley Women’s Regatta attracts so good overseas entries and this year was no exception with crews from the USA, Australia and Ireland. Ohio State won the Elite 8’s in a thrilling race crossing the line 3/4 ahead of the domestic composite of Aberdeen Univ/ Cambridge UWBC/ Imperial Coll/ Marlow RC/ Newcastle Univ/ Univ of London.
