Hartpury University and College Boat Club is a rowing club on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, based out of Gloucester Boathouse, David Hook Way, Gloucester. The Boat Club is owned by Hartpury University and Hartpury College[1] and is affiliated to British Rowing.[2] The club has gained significant success including wins at the Henley Royal Regatta[3] and has produced several Olympians in addition to multiple British and international champions.[4]

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 2012 as Gloucester Hartpury Rowing, in which they were partnered with Gloucester Rowing Club. The programme was created with the support of British Rowing as part of their World Class Start programme.[5]

The club (with Gloucester RC) won four consecutive Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cups at the Henley Royal Regatta in 2014, 2015[6][7], 2016[8] and 2017.[9]

In 2021 the club split from Gloucester RC and formed 'Hartpury University and College Boat Club',[10] although they still share the facilities at the recentley constructed £2 milllion Gloucester Boathouse.[11]
