Dorney Rowing lake

by easyoar - last update: Jun 28, 2005

Sir Steve's crew after the race
This page is rather self indulgent, but perhaps it will teach you a thing or two about rowing.

All of these pictures were taken on the final day of the Rowing World Cup held on Saturday May 28th 2005. There as even a charity race featuring Britains best known and loved rower, Sir Steven Redgrave (now retired).

The Lake itself belongs to Eton College, one of England's most elite schools. It is extremely close to Windsor.

 good explanation for sculing versus rowing. LOL, seems you were paying close attention to the the Swedish team but I can believe they stopped, so that you can take a pic of them ;p

 I can't believe I read all this page. I now know more than I ever wanted to about rowing.

 Hi Andy, So many dangers with rowing...sculling...water stuff...who knew? All great advice but surely there must be room for pie ;-) Great fun page...Tom

 Finally now I know the diff. between rowing & sculling! Philadelphia has its BoatHouse Row for University scullers/rowers. PA also has a Dorney Amusement Park. Where's your picture?
