The weekend saw the island double header of Shanklin and Ryde regattas. After a disappointing day at Shanklin regatta on Saturday, Newport bounced back on Sunday at Ryde. The performance of the day came from the Womens' Novice crew of Grace Garner, Julia Coulson, Hannah Turberville, Helen Hopper and cox Fin Gorbutt. Newport were just a length down at the halfway point to Southampton. They pushed the Southampton crew who had won convincingly the day before, all the way to the finish, to take second place.
The Junior Open crew rowed well to take fourth place out of eight crews. The Junior- Senior crew had another close race against arch rivals Southampton, reaching the turning buoy in the lead, but couldn't hold on to Southampton's pace in the final third of the race, and finished second.
