Deal Regatta Continued

Senior IV race re-rowed 3 times!!

Hastings Senior IV's had high hopes of adding points to the season's total. However the event was eventually rowed FOUR times and then in the last attempt we were cut up by Herne Bay at the dans and though we were in the lead and though they were disqualified the Officials refused to re-row again.

Above is one of the several good starts of the Senior IV race only to be ruined by poor dan turning.

Eventually our boys of Paul (smiling), Roger, Mark, Ian and Cox Emily came 4th.

In the Novices our Ladies looked good but could only get a 4th.

The Junior crew also took part in the Junior Senior race.

Again there was al sorts of Fun at the dans. Here Dover A are coming out in front.

Heavy beach support from Hastings included Mr Dick Apps, Maurice Oram and Eric Smith.

Mark King got to the Junior Scull's Final. Here pictured wiuth Bexhill No5 K. Cahill. Folkestone in the background appear to be waving to the camera!

.

The Senior Pairs final included Paul Knight and Ian Smith here in battle at the dans with No3 Shoreham of C. Smith and M Barnett. No 2 is Bexhill's D. Mitchell and A. Bickers.

Tragically later our pair boat was holed by Folkestone and so it joins our Noggin the Nog IV off the water for most of the rest of the season. Lets hope tomorrow at Bexhill is a better day!
