Pairs Head of the River 2024
Pairs Head of the River 2024
Team WinTech opened their 24/25 account with a great showing at the Pairs Head of the River, placing 18 crews in the top three of their respective categories and winning four pennants outright. With the season already marred by a series of cancellations, it was pleasing to see so many boats take to the water and shake off the summer cobwebs ahead of a long winter of training.
Our highest-ranked win came in the women’s championship double, who also set the fastest female time of the day. Nottingham Rowing Club – racing in a WinTech Cobra – secured the headship emphatically, beating out their closest competitors by nine seconds.

Elsewhere on the women’s side, we were third in the championship pair whilst riding with Nottingham Rowing Club (WinTech International) and matched that result in the women’s intermediate double with City of Oxford Rowing Club (WinTech International) and the women’s junior 16 double with City of Bristol Rowing Club (WinTech International).
Third-placed finishes were also secured in the women’s lightweight pair with Newark Rowing Club (WinTech International) whilst we picked up both second and third in the women’s masters B double via Fulham Reach Boat Club and Poplar Blackwall & District Rowing Club (WinTech Internationals).
Fulham Reach Boat Club also placed third in the women’s masters D club doubles, whilst Maidenhead Rowing Club were second in the women’s masters E doubles (WinTech Internationals).
On the open side, our boats placed second and third in the senior pairs via the efforts of Hereford Rowing Club and Nottingham Rowing Club (WinTech Cobras), whilst Southampton Coalporters ARC finished second in the open intermediate doubles (WinTech International).
Fulham Reach Boat Club – who had an impressive all-around day – were third in the open masters C pairs (WinTech International) before Putney Town Rowing Club finished second in the open masters F pairs (WinTech International).
With such strong performances, this was a hugely encouraging start to the season for Team WinTech. We look forward to supporting clubs and athletes throughout what is sure to be a busy season.
