Team Racing

Team Racing at Durham is in Fireflies at Derwent Reservoir. We are the most succesful team in the North of England with a proven track record including 1st and 4th at the BUSA northern qualifiers 2010for our 1st and 2nd mixed teams, and also a 2nd at the BUSA national finals for our ladies team. We are also the only northern university to field 3 teams that are competitive at national level.

Trials for teams take place mid October with at least weekly training thereafter for those selected for the squad. For more information about getting involved in team racing at Durham please dont hesitate to email our Team Captain.

About Team Racing

Team Racing is an intense and exciting variant of normal fleet racing. Teams of 3 boats compete not to secure an individual victory but to obtain the lowest possible joint score in the race. Achieving a winning combination is not just about boat speed but also utilising a mastery of tactics, boat control and exceptional team work to out manouver your opponents.
