Trafalgar Rowing Centre Re-Opening - 18 October 2008

After a £250,000 refurbishment programme the TRC Clubhouse building will be formally re-opened by our local MP and perhaps some Olympic Medal Winners!

Come down to the River to see racing, a display of boats and lots more including drawing and other activities for children.

Rowing the Atlantic

In December 2009 Adam and Jimmy will cast off from the Canary Islands in a 2-man ocean rowing boat with the aim of rowing unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean and winning the Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race. The Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race takes place every 2-years and sees a fleet of 20 ocean rowing boats competing to be the first to make landfall in English Harbour, Antigua. The current Atlantic rowing record of 33 days, 7 hours, 30 minutes was set in 2008 by the 12-man UK/Ireland crew of the vessel “La Mondiale”. Adam and Jimmy will travel East-to-West on a 2,900 nautical mile (3,350 mile) journey across the mid-Atlantic, following a route that takes advantage of favourable North-Easterly trade winds. Although relatively indement conditions make December and January favoured months for a mid-Atlantic crossing, the weather could be key to the crew’s success.
