Cygnet had just one boat entered into Putney Town Regatta this season, a Tier 3 novice IV+. No silverware alas but another encouraging performance from the novice squad, this time in the combo of Henrik, Mustafa, Rupert, Ashley, and Gigi (cox). They were outgunned in their heat by a very...

More success for the 'Meat-cart' as they blast through two rounds to victory at Borne Regatta. It may have been our only victory of the day but great to see so many Cygnet crews racing in the regatta from new novices to old dogs in fours, eights, singles and quads. Roll-on Putney Town. ...
