The day of Fours’ Head did not start great. It was bucketing rain, cold and miserable. For those who have not raced any of the big Tideway head races, they involve an infamous long wait on the water as hundreds of boats marshal up towards the start line and with only one boat being set off at a time, it can take hours to race. We arrived in London wrapped up warm for the cold, only to find that the rain had all but stopped and it was actually rather warm.

Head of the River 2016 – Men
First boat Wolfson’s top boat had a pretty boring, solid row- which is about all you could ask for in a Tideway Head. After a relatively uneventful marshalling, Wolfson set off in rather difficult conditions at a solid race pace,…
Torpids 2016
For the first time ever, Wolfson entered eight boats in Torpids: four men’s crews and four women’s crews. Training up so many novices while pushing our seniors is an enormous task, yet our captains’ and coaches’ effort resulted in a…
