Put your standing starts to the test in the Cam's first side-by-side regatta of the summer on a 1000m course between Ditton and Beer Tree.
Divisons run back to back, and there's a max of 8 boats per category. Barring catastrophe (or another set of re-rows) most rowers will be done within 2 hours... a bit longer if you make your final.
Every boat will get at least two races guaranteed. As a plate competition, each boat also has two chances to win! The winner of each category/band wins the cup, but those who get knocked out in the first race get to compete for the plate.
Prizes will be awarded for both cup and plate winners for events with four or more competitors (cup prizes will be awarded for all events).
Fill your pots at the prize-giving... we'll open the bar at 99s through the afternoon so you can fill your pots with prosecco and take a photo on the balcony!
CRA Eights (club or novice)
open, women's and mixed VIIIs
CUCBC Eights (Mays divisions, banded)

if we get 4 entries, you'll have your own category!
