🚣 The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta 🌊

What a fantastic Regatta for Paignton Amateur Rowing Club, with PARC crews taking to the water across both Fine Boat and Coastal racing.

☀️ THURSDAY- FINE BOAT RACING

A sunny morning gave way to more challenging windy conditions in the afternoon, but our juniors rose to the challenge, putting in stoic performances to be proud of against competitors at the top end of their age groups.

🥉 WJ18 X2 – 3rd
🏅 OJ18 X2 – 4th
🚣 WJ18 X1 – 6th & 7th
🚣 OJ16 X1 – 7th

🌊 SATURDAY - COASTAL RACING

Mist, rain, wind, heat and glorious sunshine, all in the space of a single event! PARC rowed almost as quickly as the weather changed, taking home some fantastic results:

🥇 1st - Women’s Double Sculls
🥇 1st - Mixed Double Sculls
4th - Novice Coxed Quadruple Sculls – racing as a combined crew with
5th - Mixed Coxed Quadruple Sculls

And away from the rowing...

🥇 Men’s Tug of War – with a combined men’s and ladies team, The Vikings – Coombe Tuggers! 💪

A huge team effort across the whole regatta. Special thanks to Alan for transporting the boats, Jane for coxing the quads and encouraging us forwards, and Torquay RC for their support and collaboration.

Most importantly, a big shout-out to the collective PARC team spirit throughout the event. 💙

Thank you to the team at Dartmouth for the fabulous logistical effort involved in putting on another excellent regatta, alongside the race officials, organisers, volunteers and everyone else who made the racing run so smoothly.

👏 Congratulations to all the crews, competitors and race winners.

Farewell for now, Dartmouth — we’ll be back next year! 🚣🌊
