On a sunny Sunday afternoon at Phyllis Court Club the adaptive double rowing boat was launched and named R4D, then rowed down the regatta course by Paralympian's, Naomi Riches and Sally Hopwell.

Paul Harrison, President of sponsor, Rotary Club of Henley Bridge said, "£5,000 purchased a the boat, which will last about 20 years, great value and wonderful equipment for disabled rowers to be enjoyed for a long time."

Bruce Lynn, who set up the adaptive rowing programme at Marlow RC where the new rowing boat will be kept said, "Thank you Regatta for the Disabled the for this very generous donation, sponsored by Henley Bridge. Adaptive rowing is growing by leaps and bounds. For many years it was primarily about putting a single person into a boat. In recent years there has been a development of supportive adaptive double - one adaptive rower and one non-adaptive rower."

Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters, helping to make our work possible...
