Ryde Rowing Club. Lymington Regatta. Saturday, 27th May, 2017

Press Release. Ryde Rowing Club. Lymington Regatta. Saturday, 27th January 2017.

 There was disappointment for the Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Clubs crews who were due to compete at Lymington Rowing Clubs Annual Regatta – held at Milford-on-Sea – when the when worsening conditions and the forecast for the rest of the day led to the cancellation of the event at short notice on Saturday (27th January).

All the Ryde rowers coaches and supporters were already on ferries travelling to the mainland along with the Clubs Minibus and boat trailer – which was also carrying Newport Rowing Clubs boats for them – when the event was cancelled causing a number of issues trying to get everyone and the equipment back onto the Island over a busy bank holiday weekend!

It is unclear as yet if there will be an opportunity to re-stage the event.

Press Release. Ryde Rowing Club. The I W Rowing Regatta Weekend.

Saturday, 13th May, 2017 – Ryde Regatta. Sunday 14th May, Shanklin Regatta.

Ryde Rowing Club hosted the first Hants & Dorset Amateur Rowing Association Championship Regatta of the season on Saturday (13th May). The entry received from the twelve participating clubs – including the hosts Ryde – and the two other Island Clubs – Newport and Shanklin, was significantly higher than last year with one hundred and one crews and scullers entered and an additional thirteen late entries received on the day making a total of one hundred and fourteen. This lead to a packed program of twenty events over the 1890m Ryde Regatta course – which runs from Appley Beach out towards Ryde Pier where the crews and scullers make a racing turn before racing back to Appley. There was racing in coxed fours for Men’s Seniors, Junior Seniors, Coastal Juniors, Novices and masters crews; coxless pairs racing for Men’s Seniors and Coastal Juniors and in Single sculls for Men’s Seniors, Coastal Juniors and Novices. For the Ladies there was racing for Seniors, Coastal Juniors and Masters plus Coastal Junior Pairs and Coastal Junior and Novice Single Sculls. A mixed double sculls event was also scheduled to take place but following a re-row and a couple of false starts in the difficult conditions this had to be abandoned due to the low tide.

The Club are indebted to their main Regatta Sponsor TLM Laser, who’s representatives presented the prizes at the end of the Regatta and to the other event sponsors and for the support of the IW and Ryde Town Councils - and in particular to Ryde Inshore Rescue who provided the safety cover afloat and had a busy afternoon dealing with five single scullers who overturned.

There were mixed fortunes for the Wightlink sponsored Ryde Club over the weekend where they competed at Ryde on the Saturday and at Shanklin on the Sunday. Their best performance came from the Coastal Junior Ladies Squad where on Saturday the “A” crew of Courtney Edmonds, Lisa Murphy, Emily Pike and Kate Whitehurst with Karen Crook coxing had a comfortable win – following a re-row after a clash at the buoy turn which led to the disqualification of the Clubs “B” crew of Julie Cole, Catherine Murphy, Ayesha Russell and Kirsty Newnham with Becca Nigh coxing. On the Sunday at Shanklin, with Catherine Murphy switched to the “A” crew in place of Kate Whitehurst they repeated their success with their “B” crew of Julie Cole, Becca Nigh, Kristy Newnham and Carol Beaumont - making her racing debut for the Club - and cox Micky Jenner – finishing close behind in 3rd place.

The Men’s Coastal Junior Four of Ben Toms, Jacob Redstone, Dom Douglas and Joe Groves – with Dan Sanderson coxing, in his first coastal Regatta, will be a little disappointed with their 5th place at Ryde – but showed improvement on the Sunday at Shanklin, where James Smith replaced Joe Groves – and the crew finished in 4th place.

There was an excellent performance from the young Men’s Novice Four of Tom Starkey, Austin Smith, Ben Sanderson, Tye Cameron, and cox Daniel Sanderson at Ryde – where they finished 3rd in their heat in a strong field, to qualify for the final where they finished in 5th place – but Sunday’s race, with Josh Lee replacing Austin Smith – who coxed in place of Dan Sanderson - proved to be more difficult and they failed to qualify for the final. However – this crew – with Freya Dradge replacing Tye Cameron and Eirann McClumpha coxing, produced a fine performance, racing above their age group - in the J16 Event and finishing in 2nd place.

In the coxless pairs racing there was a good performance from the Men’s Coastal Junior Pair of James Smith and Joel Smith at Ryde on the Saturday where they finished in 2nd place but they too found life more difficult on the Sunday, finishing in 4th place. The Ladies Coastal pair of Lisa and Catherine Murphy were disqualified on the Saturday following an incident on the turn be fared better on the Sunday finishing in 4th place.

In the Sculling events Dale Buckett in the Men’s Coast Junior Sculls had the misfortune to capsize at Ryde – but made amends at Shanklin in the best way possible by winning the event to secure Senior status for next season. Men’s Novice Sculler Joel Smith finished 3rd at Ryde but unfortunately, after comfortably qualifying for the final at Shanklin, he was forced to withdraw after suffering an injury.

Ryde Rowing Club. Southampton Coastal Fours Head of the River Race, Saturday, 1st April, 2017. 

Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Club competed in the Southampton Coastal Fours Head of the River Race, on the River Itchen, on Saturday (1st April, 2017) – a timed processional event over four miles raced in two divisions.

Ryde’s Coastal Junior Ladies Four of sisters Lisa and Catherine Murphy, Courtney Edmonds and Kate Whitehurst with coach Micky Jenner coxing produced an outstanding performance comfortably winning their section and recording the 2nd fastest Ladies Fours time of the day – just three seconds behind the winning Ladies Senior Four.

There was also a much improved performance from the men’s Coastal Junior Four of Dom Douglas, Joel Smith, Ben Toms and Joe Groves – with Micky Jenner coxing again – who had been disappointed in the result from their last head race. Racing in the first division they finished in 4th place in their section beating three crews from the next status up.

Ryde’s young Men’s Novice Four of Tye Cameron, Tom Starkey, Austin Smith and Josh Smith with Daniel Sanderson coxing –  also racing in the first division and racing against much older and larger crews produced an encouraging performance finishing in 13thplace in their section.

Ryde Rowing Club New Boat Fund. Just Giving Crowd Funding appeal by Caroline Douglas.

Caroline Douglas, mother of Dom - who rows for the Club and is a members of the Men's Coastal Junior Squad - is running her first half marathon in Southampton on Sunday 23rd April 2017 and fund raising for Ryde Rowing Club's new boat .

Caroline states that - "The positive impact of rowing changes lives, and our family has benefited so much from Ryde Rowing Club over the last 7 years that I'm hoping my personal challenge to run 13 miles (!) will contribute in some small way towards them achieving their fundraiser goal."

The Club are currently raising funds to purchase a new Coxed Coastal Four which will cost the club around £12,000 of which just over half has been raised to date. To remain competitive against Island and Mainland opposition it is critical that the latest design of coastal four is acquired - the newly designed "Wessex" Coastal Four, designed and built by Design Craft of Southampton being the target. 

The provision of this new boat will also increase the current capacity, allowing us to get more members afloat and will have a cascade effect freeing-up existing equipment to other groups and will extend access and participation, expand the range of skills we can teach and the events we can participate in.

If you can please give Caroline - and the Club - your support. To donate go to -

Ryde R. C. Christchurch Head of the Stour, Sunday, 12th March, 2017

Ryde R. C. Christchurch Head of the Stour, Sunday, 12th March, 2017.

There was a mixed set of results for the Wightlink Sponsored Ryde Rowing Club in their first competitive outing of the season – at the Christchurch Head of the Stour – a two mile timed event, raced over two divisions and staged last Sunday (12th March).

The Club’s best result came in the first Division from the Ladies Coastal Junior Four of Emily Pike, Kate Whitehurst, Courtney Edmonds and Catherine Murphy, coxed by Coach Micky Jenner who not only won their status event but were also produced the fastest time of any Coastal Ladies Four on the day beating the times of the Ladies Senior Coastal Fours. The Clubs 2nd Ladies Junior Coastal Four of Abi Locke, Julie Cole, Lisa Murphy and Becca Nigh – making her competitive debut rowing for the Club – with their Coach Allan Evans coxing – finished in 5th place in this event.

Also racing in this Division was a Men’s IM3 coxed four of Dom Douglas, Joe Groves, Ben Toms and Joel Smith with young cox Dan Sanderson who performed particularly well in his first race at this level – as they finished in 2nd place in their status. The Club also had a Men’s Novice Coastal sculler – James smith – racing in this division who finished in 6th place and a very young Men’s Novice Four of Josh Lee, Austin Smith, Tom Starkey, Ben Sanderson and cox Eirann McLlumpha who finished twelfth in a strong field.

In the 2nd division two of the successful coastal Junior Ladies Four – Kate Whitehurst and Courtney Edmonds raced in a Ladies Coastal Junior coxless pair – securing another first place for the Club and there was second place in his event for Men’s IM3 River Sculler – Dale Buckett and a 4th place for Men’s Novice Sculler Joel Smith.

Also racing in this division was a Men’s Coastal Junior Four of Jacob Redstone, Joe Groves, Ben Toms and Dom Douglas with Becca Nigh coxing who will be a little disappointed with their 8th place and the Ladies IM3 Coxed Four of Julie Cole, Abi Locke and Lisa and Catherine Murphy with young Dan Sanderson coxing once again who finished in 3rd place.
