As always it was a really tough race as you could tell by the condition of the rowers when they arrived at the finish! Well done to everyone who took part especially the first timers. A brilliant row by the Gladys crew who came across the line second but having rowed for 40 minutes longer than anyone in a Gig. Thank you for giving way to Heart of Hayling in such a gentlemanly fashion.
Thank you to Bekki Bradley from the Coastal Rowing Academy for this write up of the race.....
