Henley Masters Regatta 2022

We had a fantastic weekend of results to celebrate at Henley Masters Regatta 2022. The event, which is typically staged the week after Henley Royal Regatta finishes, was established in 1994 and is hosted and run by Upper Thames Rowing Club. Crews racing in WinTech & King Racing shells delivered six wins, including three from crews from the USA who had traveled over to compete. After the slightly underwhelming weather a week earlier, this regatta was blessed with blistering heat and calm conditions as the iconic Henley course came alive in the summer sunshine.

Our first win of the Saturday afternoon session – which is typically reserved for finals – came in the Open Masters B Double Sculls; a Derby-Burton composite came away with the victory.

Open Masters E Double Sculls win also went to a WinTech crew, as Grosvenor Rowing Club from Chester secured the win by a length over a Chateau-Gontier-Manosque Composite.

Our third win came about half an hour later in the Women’s Masters D Eights final, as Marin Rowing Association of the USA who were racing in a King 8+ beat Broxbourne Rowing Club by ¾ of a length.

This marked one of Marin’s six wins across the event in a hugely successful weekend for the club from California. They secured another one of those in a WinTech shell, as they claimed the Women’s Masters E Coxed Fours over Worcester Rowing Club by half a length.

Crews racing in WinTech & King Racing shells featured in 12 finals overall with a 50%-win rate. We thoroughly enjoyed attending this fantastic regatta and meeting so many athletes, clubs and spectators. This event marks the typical end of the Henley racing series and we’re already very much looking forward to returning to this course in 2023.

The tracks arrived in 2 days from east coast to west coast. The online store was really easy to use. The old tracks were 5 years old and the new ones were so easy to install. The kids love the boat with the new tracks and wheels.

I turn 80 in a couple of weeks. We’ve lived in the FL Keys the last eight years. It was difficult to get to good rowing water so we kept the boats, two 16’ Aldens and two 24’ Win Tech Explorers bagged and hung up. A year ago we moved. AWESOME lake. While I rowed the more stable Aldens I was afraid my old body wouldn’t make it back into my 24 if/when I rolled it. Lisa spotted the “training wheels” and they are a game changer. We’ve had a couple of good rowing days last week. I feel safe and no longer worried about rolling it. I’m big and old so the idea of “ training wheels” doesn’t bother me. I’ve lived and rowed in Alaska and on Cold New England days. I’ve gotten back in the boat but these days I’m rowing my “big boat” and loving it again. Thanks WinTech for a great solution!

Good hat. Would also be nice without mirror as a regular hat in this style if it were available.

Hat is good, but mirror angle is bad. I am looking for boats not planes.

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your feedback. The mirror can be pitched in different directions, as there is a ball joint on the end of the rod where the mirror attaches. The ball joint is pretty tight, preventing the mirror from flopping around.

If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out via the information below. Thanks again!
