Devon rowing clubs provide oar-inspiring display at Somerset Regatta

Wimbleball Regatta, the second regatta in the West of England ARA regatta Championship series, attracted 229 entries which required 60 races over the 1,000-metre course on Wimbleball Lake near Brompton Regis in Somerset set high in the hills of Exmoor.

Conditions varied throughout the day with a cross wind which occasionally roughened the water but at no point was the course unrowable. Dart Totnes enjoyed considerable success and Dartmouth produced some fine results.

With two regattas, Paignton and Plymouth, previously cancelled because of course conditions, the Championship series has been reduced from ten to nine regattas because Plymouth have no intention of making another attempt. However, Paignton Regatta has been re-arranged for August 10.
