Coastal Rowing is often compared with Olympic Rowing on the
same terms as track cycling is compared to mountain biking.
There is no room for prima donna in Coastal Rowing – it is
tough. You can expect some rough and tumble in a competitive start and as the
boats charge their way around the buoys of a 6000 meter course.
This is no more evident than for the two races of Jersey’s
Masters Team at the Prince Albert Cup in Monaco.
For their first race Challenge Prince Albert the Masters
Team won third place, which was a good result against a premier competition.
For their second Regatta race a two minute penalty pushed
them down to seventh place. This was disappointing, but always part of the risk
when challenging for the front.
Team Captain William Le Quelenec said
It is early in the season and a third place is a good result
at this stage of our training. Clearly we aim to improve, and we have some big
targets for the season. Overall it was a really useful experience with some key
lessons learned and valuable practice in what can be a very combative sport.
The team, comprising, William Le Quelenec, Andy Bowman, Mick
Trehorel (Cox), Ricky Rouille and Paul Rioda will now re-organise with Le Quelenec and Bowman now focussing on the GB
Coastal Championships with a Senior Crew including Hayden Rouille and Chris
Morshead.
