The 2025 Fours Head of the River delivered a standout result for King Racing, with Leander Club taking the win and Molesey Boat Club claiming second in the Women’s Championship 4+ event, both racing in King shells. Seeing two of Britain’s most respected high-performance programs finish 1–2 in our boats is something we’re truly proud to see.

Leander’s Third Win in a King – and a Proven Legacy

This year marks Leander’s third Fours Head victory in a King Racing Shell and in 2022 they set the course record in a King breaking a record which had stood for 24 years, a benchmark that still stands as a testament to the speed and precision of the hull.

Molesey Continue Their Form – Success at Home and Abroad

Molesey’s second-place finish reinforces their status as one of the UK’s powerhouse programs. It follows their recent international success at the Head of the Charles, where their Women’s Champ 8+ placed second — also in a King. Their consistency across major events highlights both the strength of the squad and their confidence in King equipment.

Proud to Support Britain’s Best

For two legendary clubs to independently choose King for their top crews is something we don’t take lightly. These athletes and coaches demand absolute performance, and we’re proud that King continues to meet — and exceed — that standard.

Congratulations to Leander and Molesey on outstanding performances. We look forward to supporting both programs as they carry this momentum into the 2026 season!
