The Isle of Wight Rowing Forum time trials returned over the weekend.
All 3 Island clubs – from Newport, Ryde, and Shanklin & Sandown – took part in the 1st of the winter’s time trials on the River Medina.
The crews had a fresh following wind which led to some fast times. The 1st Division was over the shorter 1.7km distance with the fastest time of 6 minutes 47 seconds going to Ryde’s coxed quad.
Best performances on handicap went to Shanklin scullers, Bethany and Frances Katirewa, whilst the 2nd division over the longer 3.3km distance, was a warm-up event for the Head of the Medina coming up on 26th November.
The fastest time in Division 2, 14 minutes and 8 seconds, was posted by Newport’s J16 quad. The best handicapped time came from Shanklin’s Carter Horrix.
