The Hoi Larntan team all smiles before the start at Westferry Rd in the Millwall dock area of East London 
They were weary but still smiling at the finish (103rd out of 323 starters) in leafy Surrey after 2 hours 53 minutes and 19 seconds rowing! – (see below). Bluejacket and her team followed them in some 6 minutes later.
Congratulations to the top Dutch crew in their new boat “GROOT & grut 2” who came home in 34th position taking 2 hours 41 minutes and 38 seconds!

It’s a long time since the Dutch Navy defeated a British Fleet, but was their secret weapon their age or the length of their oars? Anyway, well done Groot & grut 2 – row over to see us some day soon!
