The WEARA season kicked off for the year at Totnes last weekend. We had a good days racing with some promising results for the year to come.

First off were Millie and Harry in the OJ16 2x, they finished second in their heat and went on to row in the repocharge where they just missed out on a spot in the final.

The OSA 4+ was next up. They won their heat to progress straight through to the final. They rowed well in the final to take a respectable second place 🥈

The ONov 2x finished in second in their heat. This was followed by Andy in the Mas 1x who rowed to a second place finish 🥈

OSB 4+ was next. The crew had a tight race and finished in second 🥈 giving something to build on for the year.

OSC 4+ finished second in their heat, and then finished second in the rep, just missing out on the final also.

At this years AGM after 8 years, Luis Wilkins stood down as rowing captain. The duties have been handed over to Ross Bennett. Luis will still be around helping out as much as he can.
Good luck to Ross as he steps up as rowing captain. He will have the support of the whole club behind him and will do a great job.
