Boat House & Locations
THE ISIS
We have a newly renovated boat house located on Boat House Island on the Isis – the stretch of the Thames that runs through Oxford. This is where all small boat outings take place from throughout the year. Our novices also train from our boat house in Michaelmas, in addition to 2nd and 3rd eights in Hilary and Trinity terms, in the lead up to bumps racing. We boat from our boat house for all Oxford based races, including bumps racing.
Our Boat House features two bays containing our fleet, as well as a lounge area with changing rooms and toilets.

GODSTOW
In Michaelmas our senior squads, and in Hilary and Trinity terms, our first eights, train at Godstow. We boat from St. Edward’s School and train on a beautiful stretch of water that runs alongside Port Meadow. This is often quieter than the Isis stretch, allowing us to complete more intense and focused training.
Our Erg room
We also have a dedicated ergo room located in the Merton Sports Pavilion, about a 10 minute walk from college.

Our Fleet
We have large range of Men’s and Women’s shells, including eights, stern loaded, bow loaded, and coxless fours, pairs, doubles, and singles. This includes two high specification Filippi eights as our first eights, and a high performance single for our top scullers.
Rowing & Coxing Equipment
Our 1st VIIIs are treated to brand new GPS stroke coaches, and state of the art Active Tools GPS Cox Boxes.
