Swift Regatta at HISC

Published 13:23 on 15 Oct 2025

Bosham rowers turned out in force on Saturday for the inaugural Swift Regatta hosted by CRAC at Hayling Island Sailing Club.

A 6k run up the Harbour with a shortened 2k for the novice crew saw the teams fly up the first straight toward Northney then fight hard to push back to the finishing buoy against wind and tide.

Timing starts with a running tide challenged all teams and coxes, but Bosham, aided by some handbrake inside leg turns from our inimitable coach and cox, fought hard to gain and maintain the lead: bringing home 4 wins from 5 races. Don't mention the starter flag on the fifth.

• From Peter himself;

'Once again the Bosham massive delivered another spectacular day's racing across the length and depth of the club's ability.

So pleased for the Novice rowers who won and gained enormous confidence for future racing.

The old guard who just know how to deliver on the day and the development squad who jumped up and delivered.

We are all so proud of you all wonderful ambassadors for the club. It's a pure joy to be coaching you all.'
