Rhodes University Rowing Club took part in the recent Mutual & Federal SA Universities Boat Race. The event was held along the Kowie River in Port Alfred. The Rhodes crews trained for the two and a half months in preparation for the boat race.


This was the 30th boat race, with Mutual and Federal as the sponsors of the event for the past 10 years. The men crews row a 6km course while the women row a 4km course finishing at the Port Alfred River and Ski Boat Club, where Rhodes students lined the bank to support their crews to the finish line.

The best placed Rhodes crew was the men’s B crew which beat University of Johannesburg by 29 seconds to be the overall winners of the men’s B event.

The Rhodes men’s B crew is coached by Simon Moore, an old Rhodes rower. Both the women’s and men’s A crews were placed fourth in the A events, while the women’s B crew was also placed fourth in the B event.

Kristen Yammin, the Rhodes Rowing marketing  officer, said the boat race was “a great event, in spite of the rain and wind”.

Mandla Gagayi, assistant manager at Rhodes Sport Administration said “the boat race went well and there were no incidents reported”.
