Shiplake College Boat Club is a rowing club based on the River Thames at Shiplake College Boathouse, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.[1]
History[]
Shiplake College was founded in 1959 by Alexander and Eunice Everett. The boat club is owned by Shiplake College and rowing became a primary college sport due to its location on the banks of the River Thames.[2] New boathouse plans were passed and construction started in 2019.[3][4]
In recent years the club has won both the prestigious Schools' Head of the River Race and the Non-Championship Eights at the National Schools' Regatta.[2]
