Hamble River Rowing

Saturday's kickoff event for the Hamble River Rowing was blessed with some of the best weather of the year and a really good turnout of local people keen to find out about recreational rowing on the river and join in.

Around 80 people turned up at The Jolly Sailor with a mix of experienced rowers to complete novices.



Several Bursledon Gigs were on hand and were kept busy rowing out around Lands End Point and back. The Bursledon Gig has four rowers plus a cox, there were also smaller boats like the 12 foot Egret (above).



With the sun out and the river at it's best it was a great day and everyone seemed to have a good time. The next HRR event is evening rowing on Tuesday 4th May, starting at 6.00 pm.

The full rowing diary is available on the HRR website along with membership details.
