Crews for everyone
From age 11 to 80-plus, from first strokes to finals — there is a seat in a Stonebridge boat with your name on it.
About us
Legacy of excellence since 1962
Our story
From one wooden eight to a river institution
Stonebridge began in 1962 with eight friends, one second-hand shell and a borrowed boathouse. Six decades later we launch more than forty boats a week — juniors before school, masters at dawn, and championship crews chasing national titles.
- Learn-to-row courses every month, no experience needed
- Junior, senior and masters squads with professional coaches
- Our own 2km reach, gym, erg room and boat repair shop
Coaching that counts
Nationally qualified coaches, video analysis and winter strength programmes that turn effort into speed.
River first
We maintain our reach, protect the water we train on and open the boathouse to the whole town.
