2019 Head of the Charles
The men's eight finished 20th of 41 in the Senior Masters 8+ — every crew ahead of them was years younger — earning an automatic entry for next year.
CYC was well represented at the Head of the Charles Regatta this year. HOCR is the premier head race in the world, second only to the Olympics in prestige. Over 10,000 rowers participate and there are an estimated 350,000 spectators over two days.
On Saturday the Men's 8 rowed in the Senior Masters 8 event. CYC finished 20th out of 41, which guarantees an entry for next year. This event is handicapped differently than most masters rowing events. Every crew that beat CYC was several years younger. The former Australian Olympic team came in second.
Needless to say there was stiff competition and CYC was well represented. Most importantly, the entire crew had a great experience and looks forward to competing next year.
