The Resolute Team will be arriving at the Stotesbury Regatta the afternoon of Thursday, May 17th.
If you know, in advance, of service work you would like to have done and would like to be put on the Service Schedule, e-mail Rob Mason, our Production Manger, at rmason@resoluteracing.com . Please include in your e-mail a detailed list of the work required. This will help for planning purposes to insure we get you and your crew out on the water as quickly as possible.
We, of course, will be there throughout the regatta with our parts van fully stocked… just in case something unexpected should come up.
While
most everyone is looking forward to the start of the San Diego Crew Classic
tomorrow we thought we would pass along a firsthand recap of the The Henley
Boat Races Oxford vs. Cambridge that took place last weekend.
Chris
O’Hara, the Head Coach of the Oxford University Lightweight Women’s crew, sent
along this great note after the race.
Hello!
Our
time was 6.48, the winning time in the heavyweight race was 6.38
(Cambridge). Under the heavyweight winning time + 4% rule, we needed to
be faster than 6.53, which we were, so Full Blues should be awarded!
A
very solid performance rowed in perfect conditions - minimal stream and very
light head wind made both stations fair. Our girls got off to a flying
start at 44, and very quickly went up by half a length. They settled
around 35, and gradually stretched the lead to a length by 750m. Oxford
broke contact and obtained clear water by the 1000m mark. Cambridge
continued to apply pressure over the second half of the race, but didn't have
the speed and had lost control of the steering so were forced to row in our
wake for the final 1000m. As you know, we crossed the line one and 1/3
lengths clear. Oxford has now won 8 of the last 11 Lightweight Boat
Races, all of them in Resolutes!
Best
regards and thanks as always for giving us the fastest boat on the river!
Chris
We
love getting news like this especially since the girls were rowing in a 5 year
old boat!

We have had a wonderful time having Paige from Rowsbeforehoes as our guest blogger for the past couple of weeks. We wish all the best to her and her crew as they continue their rowing journey. In her last installment she has written and sung with the help of her friend Ariel McDonnell parody of “I Can’t Stand It” by Never Shout Never. There is a link to the original song at the end of this post but we think you will probably want to keep hitting the “replay” button on this version instead!
Take it away Paige!
This song is sung by real rowers, and written by a rower.
The pictures were sent in by rowers, and I hope this conveys the spirit of rowing! :)
PS: Since it's sung by rowers, and we're not exactly Broadway stars the vocals can be a little rough. Please be nice!

I hope you like it. Thank you so much for everything!
