Hastings Rowing Club- Homepage
Altogether there were 17 different categories of racing. These now include Under 16, Double & Quad Sculls as well as Novice Sculls. These are for both men and ladies and hopefully will bring a new young generation of rowers into the sport. Many of the newer boats have been purchased via grants from Lottery based funding organisations as well as the traditional methods of raising money!
The (slightly off-) White Cliffs of Dover act as a back drop to Dover Regatta.
