Safety at Sea Ltd Win Glasgow Corporate Rowing Championships

Trying to persuade the employees of a stability orientated Naval Architecture consultancy to climb into an inherently unstable racing rowing shell is not entirely straightforward. However, despite the overwhelming odds of taking a swim in the murky waters of the river Clyde, SafetyatSea fielded a crew of four in the Glasgow Corporate Rowing Championships, hosted by Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club at Glasgow Green.

Preparation for the big day comprised six training sessions, the first two of which were devoted to the fine art of not falling out of the boat, before progressing onto not going backwards and finally; rowing forwards and rowing forwards quickly.

In the early rounds of the competition the SafetyatSeacrew showed considerably greater speed than their opposition over the 300 metre course. A nervous performance in the semi-final saw the 4 guys edge their way into the final. However, the nerves evaporated in the final, and despite a strong showing from the opposing crew, Team SafetyatSea powered to a well deserved victory, taking home the British Steel Trophy.
