This website covers all aspects of the rich history of rowing, as a sport, culture phenomena, a life style, and a necessary element to keep your wit and stay sane.
While clearly much manipulated, I was particularly pleased with this image, one that I produced following the 2024 Doggett’s Coat and Badge race. Titled “Centurions”, it shows the Doggett’s winners from 1824 (George Fogo), 1924 (Harold Green) and 2024 (Ronnie Richardson).
