Team WinTech kickstarted the 2024 racing season with a great display at the February GB trials with more WinTech Racing singles completing the 5k course than any other boat brand. Three top-ten finishes in the men’s single were among these plus a selection of strong performances across both women’s single and women’s pair, we’re now excited to watch how these development and U23 athletes mature into the season and begin to stake their respective claims for representation at this year’s bumper senior, U23 and junior world championships in Canada.

Our top performer was Rory Harris of Leander Club who came home second overall in the men’s single in a Cobra SE FLX (WinTech’s elite hull shape optimised for high stroke rates). Rory has a great pedigree of strong showings on both the domestic and international stage, with three Henley Royal Regatta titles to go alongside a bronze medal from the third senior rowing World Cup in 2021. Behind Rory, we had two further top-ten finishers in the form of Elliott Donovan-Davies of Hartpury College (WinTech International) and Charlie Warren of Durham University (Cobra SE). They were seventh and eighth respectively.

Bryn Ellery of Leander Club was 13^th in a Cobra SE whilst Nat Gauden of Leander was 16^th, again in a Cobra SE. Rounding out the top 20 for Team WinTech was Byron Richards, who was 19^th for Leander Club (Cobra SE). Jacob Ioras was 22^nd in a Cobra – racing for the University of London – whilst Monkton Combe’s Cameron Buchan was 24^th in a WinTech International.

In the women’s single, Finnola Stratton was our top finisher. The Reading University sculler finished just outside of the top ten in 11^th place, racing in a Cobra SE. Behind her, Poppy Baker of Nottingham Rowing Club was 14^th (WinTech International) and Leander’s Kathryn Burton secured 17^th in a Cobra. Chloe Sheppard was 23^rd for Hartpury College in a WinTech International.

We had one crew in the women’s pair; Harriet Noyes from Hinksey Sculling School & Tess Peake from Tideway Scullers school placed 16^th in a Cobra.

As the season begins in earnest and racing begins to take place with more frequency, we’re incredibly excited to watch the year unfold, particularly as so many athletes vie for so many different titles. Olympic, Paralympic, world, U23, junior and domestic titles lie in wait
