The club caters for all abilities from novices to potential International Athletes. The club tries to give every section of the club a designated coach and these are either paid or voluntary. Our season begins for the serious crews from September each year and October for everybody else. Our season usually ends after Peterborough Summer Regatta early in August.
The club has a large fleet of boats which are mainly Janousek Racing boats. The club has predominantly gone for these boats as they are a strong and fast club boat. The senior section of the club has the following boats and these are assigned to crews based on their ability and speed.
