Head of the Charles – Results

Oct 19, 2024

We have results for our boats racing in the Head of the Charles yesterday and today. Yesterday Tom Bishop was competing in the Senior Veteran II single sculls category and finished second out of 18 scullers in a time of 22 min. 32.253 sec, approximately 16 seconds behind the American ex-Olympic sculler Jim Dietz. Tom was also 7th overall in the Men’s Senior Veteran/Grand Veteran Singles[70+, 80+, 90+] race. Today our eight were competing in the Veteran 70+ category and finished second out of nine crews in a time of 18 min. 2.239 sec, approximately 16 seconds behind the Australians, Upper Yarra, and 16 seconds ahead of Penn AC. They were also placed 18th overall in the Men’s Grand Master Eights [60+] race.

Full results for Tom’s race may be found at https://www.regattacentral.com/regatta/results2/eventResults.jsp?job_id=8995&event_id=53 and for the eight at https://www.regattacentral.com/regatta/results2/eventResults.jsp?job_id=8995&event_id=61.

We are hoping for a full account when our intrepid rowers return home.
