Boat Club Opens Season with Wins on Home Water
Glasgow University Boat Club retain both men’s and woman’s headship at the Clyde Three Heads.
GLASGOW – The first racing opportunity of the season came for GUBC on the River Clyde this Saturday and much of the club took up this opportunity to get some racing started.
The race was led off by the Men’s Eight with number 1 on their bow, who setting the fastest time of the day, almost a minute ahead of the next competitor.
The next boat down the course was the women’s eight, steered by Alexandra Lennie who navigated overtakes around a number of crews to claim another comfortable victory.
Another highlight of the event came from the Women’s Restricted 1 Four, again steered by Lennie, who got the better of a field including many local rivals.
This race was also the first time many of the beginner members of the club were able to race, as 22 new rowers were able to race for the first time.

Racing was held on a 3000m course on the River Clyde, with the stream.
