President’s Welcome

I don’t think it would be an overstatement to say that the Boat Club is in one of the most exciting times of its long history. And what a time to be where we are! As we approach our 150th year our progress shows no signs of relenting.

The 2016 Bow Ball was one of the biggest in recent years, with almost 150 attendees and just under 20 of our alumni.

Rufus Scholefield and Henry Millar became the University Male Athletes of the Year.

Alumnus Luke Robertson became the youngest Brit and first Scot to ski solo to the South Pole.

Robyn Hart-Winks won GB Trials in the Lightweight 1x and has just returned from Boston, USA, as World Indoor Champion.

It’s been a great few months for the Club. And the best part of it? The standout moments listed above are only the start of it. GB Trials, Rutherford Head and BUCS Head were wonderfully successful affairs. The novices had their first taste of racing since their squads were streamlined and the Novice Women have particularly excelled themselves, taking a Gold medal in the 8+ and 4+ at BUCS Head on the Tyne.

But only 3 crews in an event will ever win a medal. Silver will always leave a bitter taste; fourth is even worse for that feeling. We are unlikely to ever have a squad packed full of international athletes, and even less likely to have a squad packed full of World Champions. But the wonderful thing about having squads that are so competitive, as we do, is that everyone is pushing to step up. Pushing for that one seat higher.

Whilst a Gold medal-winning crew will have 2nd place pushing them all the way to the line, they wouldn’t have got there without the rest of their squad pushing them day in, day out. On the water, on the erg, in the weights room. It might not be much, but every squad member has a part to play in their champions’ success. The Men’s Championship 4x And for that, everyone should be proud. Photo Credit: Anthony Benoit

The Coach’s View

Written by John Higson, Senior Women’s Coach When I asked Eleri what exactly I was 'supposed' to include in the coaches introduction that I have been invited to write, she said to offer thoughts on the atmosphere in the club and how the programme is going. So, I started to write...

As we approach the major London Heads this is the time that, as a coach, you hope all the harsh comments to your crews through challenging water conditions come to bear fruit. It is nice when that fruit is metal and hangs around their necks, but in all honesty it is more about being able to look back and say that you truly believe that a ...and then I thought I'd start again.

Anyone can write that introduction: how is it in the club right now, this month, this season, in 'recent times'. The rest of this issue hopefully covers all that. What no one else can write (from the inside) is how it has changed and that is what I get asked about the most. So I'm going Maverick with this one...

I began rowing as a novice in 2002 at Edinburgh - perhaps the last cohort to learn with the copper-tipped macons - and have been involved ever since, as a rower for a little over 7 years and then/now as a coach. While I cannot comment on what the club was like before 'my time', I cannot imagine it has been through a change as radical as that of 'recent times'. It is however not the details of that change that I wish to go into. What I want to share with you is what we are developing with regards to identity.

For the entire time I was involved as a rower with Edinburgh University there was very little in the way of history beyond the 'back in the day' anecdotal tales. Now, I'm not suggesting it has always been like that. Not in any way. In fact, there are many signs around the boat-shed (sorry, -house) that suggest otherwise. There is however a huge gap where we have lost our identity of who we row for and the history attached to it. It was fun at the time. We enjoyed it at the time. But did we ever think about those that were to come and those that had been before? Speak to any of the ladies I have the pleasure of coaching and they will tell you how much I impress upon them the value of a team, a squad, an IDENTITY. No individual is above the good of the team, and I genuinely believe I can write this and say that they buy into that wholeheartedly. Representing Edinburgh is once again, because I truly believe it will have been in history, something to be proud of. In the mantra that the All Blacks swear by, you are a custodian of the badge. It is not yours to keep, simply yours to write your own little piece of history under.

Keep in touch with what we are doing and come along to some of our events. We would love to see you there because you wore that very same badge once too!

Robyn Hart-Winks – World Indoor Champion

After winning the Scottish Indoor Rowing Lightweight title in November in a time of 7:07.1, Robyn was invited by event sponsor Concept2 to compete at the infamous CRASH-B Sprints: the World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston, USA.

On Sunday 28th February at 1715 GMT, Robyn pulled a 7:06 2k to fend off her nearest competitor, Leonie Pieper, by 3.8 seconds. Robyn Hart-Winks: Lightweight Open Women’s World Indoor Rowing Champion.

EUBC Take on the Thames By Colin Williamson, Edinburgh University Head of Rowing

The River Thames holds a particular place in the heart of all rowers. In the summer, a season or even a career can be defined in a one-on-one duel between the booms, sun beating down and the hubbub of British societal grandeur thronging the banks. Win or lose, provides a natural end point to the season Turn the clock back a few months, the temperature down a few degrees, and the ferocity of the river up a few notches, and we find ourselves on the Tideway. Same river: different challenge. Photo Credits: Anthony Benoit

Much like Henley, typical rowing markers are dispensed with for more evocative waypoints: Barnes Bridge, The Bandstand, Chiswick Eyot, Hammersmith Bridge, Harrods, the Mile Post, the Black Buoy. Each is ticked off in the rowers’ mind as they hurtle towards Putney on the Ebb tide, battling not an opponent to the left or right, but the internal struggle to maintain form and power over the best part of 20 minutes. A race against the clock, and the clock never loses. Over the years I learned: it never gets easier, you just get faster. Edinburgh University Boat Club travels to both the Men and Women’s races over the Championship course this month with their largest and best prepared line-ups for many years. BUCS Head in early February provided a glimpse of their potential, with both Senior Men’s and Women’s eights forcing their way onto the podium, and turning over some of their perennial rivals from over the border for the first time. Since then, the Women have shown good speed in training, and will welcome a World Indoor Champion back into the ‘6’ seat for the final preparations. The Men ventured south to hone their speed at the Head of the Trent and in private matches against Newcastle University and the Cambridge Blue Boat. There is an air of readiness as race day approaches for all, and a willingness to ensure that that this natural end point to the winter is a positive, and even historic one. We will be boating out of Thames Rowing Club on both weekends, please come find us.

Race Reports

Rutherford Head Written by Charlie Dobson

They say ‘third time’s a charm’, and this was definitely the case for Rutherford Head 2016. After the unfortunate decision was made to cancel the event in late 2015 due to gale force winds, on the rescheduled Saturday in January the ‘God of the Tyne’ was still not on our side and high winds called the event off yet again. However, a swift move to the Sunday and some beautiful water conditions made the event well worth the wait.

EUBC did not disappoint in showing our southern rivals at Newcastle and Durham University Boat Clubs that they had something to worry about so close to BUCS Head. We saw wins from: our Men’s Elite 4x, who retained their title for the 3rd year in a row; our Men’s Elite 4+, which consisted of our heavyweight trialists Rufus Scholefield, Calum Irvine, Graham Ord and David Duffy; our Men’s IM2 4x; our Women’s Novice 8+, who’s second boat secured second place by beating Newcastle’s novices into third by a massive 51.1 seconds; and our Men’s Novice 8+. This was an exceptional result for our Novice crews who have not been dominant in the 8s for some years. Our Senior Men’s 8+ had their first run out of the season, a top finish just out of reach as they were held at bay by Newcastle’s two top 8s, but it was only to serve as an injection of passion into the boat for a rematch at BUCS Head 3 weeks later.

BUCS Head Written by Graham Ord

The 2016 BUCS Head of the River Race took place on the river Tyne in Newcastle on the 20th and 21st of February. This event was the first real test of the year for our athletes and was the first time that our new beginner rowers got to take on the rest of the country.

Day One The event started on Saturday with all the beginner races. In the first division, we had two men’s eights racing and four Women’s coxed fours. First down the 3km course was the men’s eights where both crews performed remarkably well. The top beginner eight overtook several good crews and knowing they had raced well, were overjoyed to see that they had secured a strong silver medal, finishing narrowly behind the home crew from Newcastle University. The second crew, despite a couple of crabs down the final straight, also secured a great 10th place out of the 34 boats that completed the course. Following the boys down was our beginner Women in their coxed fours. The girls as a squad performed remarkably well especially the crew of Lauren Bamber, Bettie Payne, Eva Sheppard, Charlotte Stephenson and Christine Boxun Liu who took the gold medal by a massive margin over the rest of the field. Just missing out on the medals, the second crew finished a strong 4th place and the 3rd and 4th boats finished not far behind in 10th and 14th place respectively out of the 31 entered boats. The next division saw the men split up into coxed fours and the women joining up to make eights. First down the course were the women’s eights. Following up from their strong results in the first Division the girls again impressed with the first boat taking the gold medal, albeit by a much narrower margin this time. The second crew also impressed by finishing in a very solid 8th place not far at all in time behind the podium finishers. The boys also had very good races with the top crew of Harry Newmark, James Baxter, David Speers, James Walker and Flora Mao being very disappointed to have finished just off the podium in 4th place. The second four finished in a very strong 8th place with the 3rd and 4th boats following up, not far behind in 23rd and 31st place respectively.

At the end of the day one after the great performances from both squads Edinburgh found themselves at the top of the medal table and in the lead of the Victor Ludorum.

Day Two

On day two it was the turn of the seniors squads. With an increased distance of 5km and tricky conditions, the seniors were looking to perform well and also put down a marker of their strength leading up to the Head of the River Races in London next month.

In the first division the men’s squad fielded a coxless quad and a coxed four whilst the women raced in two eights. First down the course was the coxless quad who, despite more than half the crew being lightweight, managed to finish in a solid 4th place but were ultimately disappointed to have missed out on the medal positions. Next down the course was our coxed four. The crew of Rufus Scholefield, David Duffy, Kieran Tierney, Calum Irvine and Rosie Margolis had a storming row, and despite having to start far down the field, they overtook several crews and ended up finishing with a excellent silver medal, narrowly behind the winners from Imperial College London.

BUCS Head (continued)

Next down the course was our women’s first eight. The crew comprised of Emily Bowie, Maddie Arlett, Robyn Hart-Winks, Amy Sweeny, Victoria Howard, Amelia Donovan, Ann Westby-Rodahl, Amy White and Charlotte Davie performed amazingly. The girls caught up and overtook last year’s winners from Durham University as well as pulling away from a very fast crew from Newcastle University. The girls were ultimately disappointed to see that they had to settle for the silver medal after a great performance from the University of London boat saw them take the gold medal narrowly. The next down the course was our women’s second eight who were racing in the intermediate category. The girls had a very good row and were very close to medalling in this category ultimately finishing in 6th place. Also racing in the intermediate eight’s category were our two beginners women’s eights. Both of these crews were hoping to gain more racing experience over a long race course to better prepare themselves for the Women’s Head of the River Race next month in London. Both eights raced well; with them finishing in 12th and 23rd place out of the 34 entries against much more experienced crews.

In the fourth and final division the men fielded a single eight in the championship category, whilst the women split up into a coxless quad, coxless four, coxed four and in intermediate coxed four. First down the course was our men’s championship eight. The coxed four from division one were joined by James Temple, William Horrocks, Karol Stanski and Sebastien Glen. The boys performed out of their skin to take a memorable first championships eights medal in several decades as they grabbed bronze in a tight field, not far behind Imperial College and Newcastle University. The girl’s championship quad was the next boat down the course. This crew was unable to do any practice prior to the event. However, the girls took a fantastic silver medal and were actually disappointed not to have won as they were coming into the event as reigning champions. Next up was the girls championship coxless four. These girls, all fresher’s or new senior’s, had a fantastic row and took a very well earned bronze medal in a very prestigious event. The girls championship coxed four was next, and again, we were on the podium as the girls took a excellent bronze medal, putting big distance between themselves and the crew in 4th. The last boats down the course were our two men’s beginner eights, who, like the women, raced in the intermediate eights event. Both boats performed well and gained valuable experience in finishing a solid 29th and 37th place in the 52-boat field where most of the crews had much more experience.

At the end of day 2 Edinburgh University Boat Club found themselves positioned amongst all of the powerhouses of rowing in a fabulous second place in the overall standings for the Victor Ludorum. The men were not far behind, coming in 4th in their table, which was a great result especially given only nine senior athletes competed at the event. The rankings in the women’s Victrix Ludorum was even better, with EUBC came out proving that we have one of the strongest Women’s squads in the country.

GB Trials Written by Charlie Dobson

EUBC had a very successful weekend at the GB Rowing Team 5km time-trial assessment in Boston on February 13th. It was a cold and windy day with a strong head wind and tough conditions, but our rigorous winter training saw our trialists perform well nonetheless. There were a number of notable top ten finishes for EUBC athletes, including an excellent first place finish for Robyn Hart-Winks in the lightweight women’s single scull.
