WCRC 'Have A Go Row' Open Weekend April 15-16th 2022
Whitby Coastal Rowing Clubs inaugural Open Weekend turned out to be a unanimous success over a glorious April weekend.
The rowing gods were kind with the weather which allowed over 100 new coastal rowers to take to the water to try out this fantastic sport.
Saturdays rowing allowed novice and experienced rowers alike to try out 16 boats (coxed quads, doubles & singles) all very kindly provided by Swift Racing, with Sunday bringing some casual but very competitive 'Beach Sprint' racing.
Crews from Whitby Coastal Rowing Club battled it out against stiff opposition from the likes of York, Tees and Scarborough Rowing Clubs with some extremely close racing.
Winning out the day was Tees RC with a double win in both the mens and womens races.
Crews battle it out off Tate Hill Beach.
