The LDS saw entries from Duncan and Allen in their singles. After some tricky marshalling both made it safely down the course and were happy with their rows. The SBH saw Rachel and Sophie race the masters women’s double sculls C-E category. They had a solid row and were pleased with their performance, but sadly no win for them today. Allen again rowed his single. Well done to all who rowed.
