Some sparkling performances lit up a damp and grey Saturday evening for the third and final Isle of Wight Rowing Forum time trials.
Run over a 1500m course on the River Medina, rowers aged from 12 to 75 posted their fastest times of the series.
The fastest time of the day went to Ryde sculler Joel Smith who set the pace with a time of 6min 16 sec. He was closely followed in Division 2 by Newport’s Toby Batchelor with 6 min 18 sec.
The best women’s performances went to Shanklin Junior Ladies 4 in Div 1, with a time of 6 min 40 sec, and in Div 2 Shanklin double sculls of Lottie Tapsell and Rachel Debenham with 6 min 46 sec.
The Island clubs are now looking forward to the start of the regatta season with the Swanage Regatta on 3rd July.
