Wallingford Regatta

With the younger crews having raced at Evesham the day before, the senior crews and one WJ15 quad travelled to Dorney Lake on Sunday 30th April in the hopes of completing their first multi-lane race of the season. 

The day began with the boys' senior doubles, with three Hinksey doubles racing in three different heats, and the girls' senior double. Already gusty with a choppy course, unfortunately these proved to be the only side-by-side races of the day! Whilst one of the boys doubles (Joe Elwig and Will Wakefield) progressed through to their final after coming 2nd in their heat, side-by-side races were cancelled for the remainder of the day as the wind picked up and results were determined by heat times, placing Joe and Will 6th in their category - the highest placing of the day for Hinksey. 

The remaining races were all conducted by time trial on a windy, wavy course, providing challenging conditions that all crews coped well with. Full results from the day can be found here.
