This year’s trip to Nottingham for the annual Head of the Trent saw both the Blue boat and the Lightweights win their divisions.  The Lightweights put in a strong race and came away the victors in the WS3 8+ over the 6000m course.  Encouragingly for the Blue boat, they won the Senior 2 division, despite a steering difficulty that forced a stop and re-start in the middle of the race.  Blondie also raced well, despite a near miss on the same bridge which interrupted the Blue Boat’s race.  Overall, it was a successful trip with two crews taking the pennants and spurring CUW on towards Boat race day.
