It was the culmination of 3 epic heats over two very soggy days, and an inauspicious start with Will and Joanne only just making it in time as the boat was being carried down to the boating area.
Hurrah!
The Masters D8+ were unfortunate in coming across Leander BC (Canada) with 3 ex-internationals in the boat, and were happy that the losing distance was no more than 3 lengths. That said, they seem to have plateaued (not entirely fair - this is Henley after all). The serious season is now over, and some thought is going into next season's priorities.
An experimental D4x made an appearance (Henley not really being the place to experiment, but hey...) and early impressions that this had possibilities were justified with a relaxed performance, just losing to Vesta by a canvas in the first round. Watch this space.
Finally, MIRCs next generation Olympians made a an appearance to sniff out the turf and get a feel for their future stomping grounds!
