For some of the club athletes it was their rst taste of competitive sprint racing for nearly two years, with the regatta operating under new measures put in place to ensure a Covid-safe event. e day was gloriously hot which made for fast racing conditions on a glass like lake, where athletes competed to see who was the fastest over 200, 500 and 1000 meters in single and double kayaks and canoes. A small but successful Southampton group came home with three rst places, eight personal bests and nine appearances in the major nals. Which hopefully will translate into success in next month’s International Selections and National Championships. Xavier Hinves won the U18 500m K1 and the K2 with his doubles partner Zac Tarver from Elmbridge CC, while Richard Kent won the Masters O55 200m event. e club is currently running taster sessions for those who wish to get involved in Paddling a Kayak you can sign up here: www.southamptoncc.co.uk/start-up- sessions Xavier Hinves at the June Regatta 2021 (Picture Credit British Canoeing and Antony Edmonds) sports extra Zig-Zag Railway service sets off onto the upper level after reversing in 1996.
