📸❤️💛 A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS… AND WHAT A STORY THESE TELL! 🚣‍♂️🌊

Our Pier-to-Pier adventure might be over, but thanks to the incredibly talented Matthew Harwood, we get to relive every moment!

Matthew has captured some absolutely brilliant shots of our rowers taking on the Sussex coast, and we couldn't be more grateful! 👏

We've admired and shared Matthew's rowing photography for quite some time, so having him come along and photograph our 54km Hastings–Eastbourne–Hastings challenge was something special.

A huge thank you, Matthew, for giving up your time and capturing these memories for us. Your photos really do speak for themselves! 📸❤️💛

🚣‍♂️ And there's one more thing…

We're now just £200 away from our fundraising target! 🎯

We've done the rowing, battled the waves and collected the blisters… now we just need a little help getting over that final fundraising finish line! 😂💪

Every donation, however small, helps support our volunteer-run club and could bring us closer to unlocking additional funding through Sport England's match-funding scheme!

❤️ CAN YOU HELP US FIND THAT LAST £200?

🚣 Winter rowing, here we come! ❤️💛

Our trailer and boats have safely arrived at Rye Harbour Sailing Club, our winter training home! 🌊❄️

A massive thank you to everyone who helped get everything ready, from repairing and preparing the boats to loading, towing and unloading. It really is a team effort, and we couldn't do it without you!

A special thank you to Taylor Vehicle Rentals for helping us with the transport and getting our boats to Rye! 🚗👏

Now we're looking forward to plenty of winter training, getting our Learn to Row beginners out on the water and preparing for the 2027 racing season!

Rye, we're ready for you! 💪🚣

🚣‍♂️🌊 PIER-TO-PIER IS BACK… AND THIS TIME WE'RE ROWING BOTH WAYS! ❤️💛

Apparently, rowing 27km along the Sussex coast last year wasn't quite enough! 😂

After Paul Knight and Dave Pattle's incredible Eastbourne-to-Hastings adventure in 2025, we're going one step further!

📅 SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2026 🤞
(Weather permitting!)

🚣‍♂️ LEG 1: Paul Knight & Dave Pattle
📍 Hastings ➡️ Eastbourne

🚣‍♂️ LEG 2: John Webb & Roland Rebek
📍 Eastbourne ➡️ Hastings

💪 ONE BOAT. TWO CREWS. TWO PIERS. APPROXIMATELY 54KM!

And all to help raise funds for Hastings Rowing Club!

As a volunteer-run club, we're always working to maintain our boats, improve our equipment and facilities, and make coastal rowing accessible to more people.

We're joining forces with Nicky Knight's fundraising efforts, and every donation, big or small, will help us keep our club moving forward! ❤️💛

🌊 The sea will have the final say on whether we can go ahead, but preparations are well underway!

📸 These photos are from last year's challenge. This time we're hoping to make even more memories!

🚣‍♂️🌊 PIER-TO-PIER IS BACK… AND THIS TIME WE’RE ROWING BOTH WAYS! 🌊🚣‍♂️

Last year, Hastings Rowing Club took on the challenge of rowing approximately 27km from Eastbourne Pier to Hastings Pier. It turned into a proper coastal adventure — rain at the start, tough side-on conditions, plenty of bounce off the shoreline and two very relieved rowers reaching Hastings!

Apparently, once wasn’t enough… 😂

For Pier-to-Pier 2026, we’re taking the idea one step further and turning it into a relay there AND back.

🚣 Paul Knight & Dave Pattle: Hastings ➡️ Eastbourne
🤝 Crew change at Eastbourne
🚣 John Webb & Roland Rebek: Eastbourne ➡️ Hastings

One pair. Two crews. Two piers. Around 54km of coastal rowing between us. 💪🌊

The pictures here are from last year’s challenge — and hopefully give you an idea of exactly what we’re signing ourselves up for again!

The date will be dictated by tides, weather and sea conditions, so there’s plenty of training and planning still to come. Safety and support crews will once again be an important part of making the challenge possible.

This year the row will also support Nicky Knight’s fundraising challenge for Hastings Rowing Club. Nicky is taking on a huge programme of running events over the coming year, and we’re adding a few kilometres on the water to help her towards the target!

Money raised will help support the boats, equipment, safety gear, coaching and facilities that keep our volunteer-run club going. ❤️💛

👉 Please support the challenge:

Last year: Eastbourne ➡️ Hastings.
This year: Hastings ➡️ Eastbourne ➡️ Hastings.

What could possibly go wrong? 😅🚣‍♂️🌊

🏆❤️💛 CARA CHAMPIONS! ❤️💛🏆

What a season for our Masters!

Last night it was finally time to swap the rowing kit for something a little smarter as the coastal rowing family came together for the annual CARA Dinner & Prize Giving — and our Open Masters 50+ had a very good reason to celebrate! 🥂🏆

After a fantastic season on the water, Hastings Rowing Club are officially the:

🏆 2026 CARA OPEN MASTERS 50+ CHAMPIONS! 🏆

These boys have certainly earned their night out. 😂

Throughout the summer they produced win after win around the coast, taking victories at Hastings, Folkestone, Dover, Southsea, Worthing, Shoreham and Deal on their way to securing the CARA championship.

And they weren't quite finished there…

The same core group of Hastings Masters rowers then stepped into the Open Masters 40+ category at the South Coast Championships in Deal — and came home as SOUTH COAST CHAMPIONS! 🥇🏆

CARA Champions at 50+.
South Coast Champions at 40+.

Not a bad summer at all! 😜

But behind the trophies, medals and last night's celebrations are months of training, travelling, early starts, boat loading, rough seas and plenty of hard racing against some brilliant crews from across the coast.

We're incredibly proud of what these guys have achieved and delighted to see Hastings Rowing Club represented at the top of coastal rowing.

And judging by the photos from last night… they appear to be considerably better at rowing than behaving themselves at an awards dinner. 😂🍽️🏆

Congratulations, gentlemen — enjoy this one. You've earned it!

❤️💛 HASTINGS ROWING CLUB 💛❤️

🏆 2026 CARA Open Masters 50+ Champions
🏆 2026 South Coast Open Masters 40+ Champions

What. A. Season.
