Dover Rowing Club have been in action in a unique Shoreham regatta when conditions and a higher tide meant the turn buoys were lost under water. The normal 2km course having to be replaced with a straight 1.2 km course.

Dover sent a two man raiding party featuring Jasper Mallet and Tom Stothart. Mallet had the better of the conditions but a poor start, struggling to get a good rhythm and putting himself under pressure in the Open Junior Sculls. Once he found his stride he quickly pushed into first place at half way. With 200m to go, Bexhill and Deal drew level with Mallet winning the sprint over the last 50m, easing out to a canvas win.
Stothart got the roughest conditions in the Open Senior Sculls. Four crews including Stothart, were neck and neck up to the 600m mark. Battling heavy conditions with the risk of capsize Herne Bay pulled ahead with Stothart on their stern and both crews entering a two way battle. Stothart came home second by a length at the finish.
