A fantastic morning celebrating the rowing achievements of two past teachers at the boat naming of our new VIII+ and 2x.

It was great to see such a large turnout for the two fantastic gentlemen being honoured this morning.

Sid and Steen both coached at CAI during the 80s and 90s as well as being full time teachers at the school. These men built a reputation of dedication, knowledge and brilliance all of which took CAIBC through one of its most successful periods in its history. Winning multiple VIII+ and IV+ Irish Championships, Homes Internationals, Henley Royal Regatta appearances and much more.

The delivery of these two racing shells is a culmination of a lot of hard work by our COBRA members as well as outside donors to deliver our largest ever donation of equipment to the rowing club. At a total of £37k, 70% of which came from our members donations.

We would like to thank everyone for attending this morning, despite the awful weather, and making it such a success.
