Team WinTech opened our account for the 23/24 season with two wins at the Vesta Scullers Head of the River. On a balmy London morning, several hundred scullers took to the reverse championship course in an attempt to emerge victorious across a range of different categories catering to ages, genders and abilities. Renowned as one of the UK’s most challenging head races.

Rory Harris of Leander Club was second overall, only losing out to nationally ranked lightweight Copus. Racing in a WinTech Cobra SE, he was seven seconds back on the headship.

Our second-highest finisher was Bryn Ellery of Leander Club, who finished ninth in the Men’s Championship division in a WinTech Cobra. He was 15^th overall.Two athletes triumphed in WinTech shells in their respective categories. Laura Bates of London Rowing Club (WinTech Cobra FLX) took the win in the Women’s Lightweight category, beating out seven other scullers. She placed a full 30 seconds ahead of Wake of St Edmund Hall Boat Club in second place and was 98^th overall.

Anna Ramsden (WinTech International) won the Women’s Masters D division, finishing over 25 seconds clear of her opposition, and securing the win for Mortlake Anglian and Alpha Boat Club. She was top of a seven-boat field and finished 271^st overall.

Byron Richards placed second in the Men’s School/Junior category, 20 seconds back on Philip Wolfensberger of St Paul’s School. Fresh off the back of a win in the Fawley Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta, Richards will be looking to kick on and build off the back of an impressive 22/23 season.

Jack Bates of Reading University Boat Club was also second in his category (Men’s Lightweight Singles) and finished 27^th overall. Ethan Walters (WinTech Cobra SE) was 29^th overall and second in Men’s U23 Singles whilst Sartin of Tideway Scullers School was second in the Women’s Junior 16 Singles in a WinTech Cobra.

We also had a smattering of thirds; Gibbs of Poole Amateur Rowing Club was third in the Men’s Novice category (WinTech International), Alex Watkins was third in Men’s Masters A Singles (WinTech Cobra), Nat Gauden was third in U23 Singles (WinTech Cobra SE) and Violet Holbrow-Brooksbank was third in Women’s School/Junior Singles (WinTech Cobra).
