Dart Totnes ARC Autumn Head. Saturday, 19th November, 2022.  

Two crews and a single sculler from Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Club competed in what will almost certainly be their last mainland event of the season travelling to Totnes, in the West Country to compete in the Dart Totnes ARC Autumn Head on Saturday (19th November, 2022).

The event was a time trial, with crews and scullers starting at intervals and raced in three divisions over a 3000 metre course on the River Dart.

Ryde had a Men’s J15 Double Scull of Charlie Watts and Isaac Gibson and a Men’s J18 Single Sculler – Bradley Whiting - racing in division 2. Charlie and Isaac finished in 38th position from 57 entries in the Division in a time of thirteen minutes eight seconds but had limited opposition with no other crew in their category in the race. Bradley finished in 43rd place in a time of thirteen minutes seventeen seconds – in 5th place in his category.

The Ryde Club also had a Men’s Open Coxed Four of Charlie Watts, Will Hall, Bradley Whiting and Paddy Kearney with Joe Bird coxing, competing in Division 3. They finished in eleventh place in their division in a time of twelve minutes forty five seconds – and were the third Men’s Open Coxed four to finish.
