Clubs and Regattas on Twitter

Advertisements

Leading the charge to get online are races hosted in the USA with the Head of the Charles Regatta being first off (@hocr). Predictably the messages are mostly about regatta organisation and links to their website and results.

Londons Scullers Head

ScullersHead
seems to be the only major UK race around thats live and it had full results from the race last yearand so can really be considered a leading adopter of the genre. Great photo of the head trophy for their icon.

Head of the Hooch (@headofthehooch) looks like it only just got online this year for its event yet the Cochrane Cup (@cochranecup) has full results details as they happened on May 2nd.

Rowing Clubs are also coming onstream and the first we found was London Rowing Club (@londonrc). Sadly for British readers, its London Ontario – guess the Tideway lot will have to find a different online name for themselves when they catch up. Austin Rowing Club in Texas are very active (@austinrowing) Vesper Boat Club (@vesperboatclub) in Philly uses the site to publish navigation advice and promote its beginners courses.

From the UK side

Kingston Royals Dragon Boaters (@kingstonroyals) are online as is the Open Water Rowing Club (@owsc) in Sausalito. They scull in San Francisco Bay and I was lucky enough to interview David Low and do some outings with them last summer – truly intrepid folk!
