CBC’s 1st Varsity 8+ finished 3rd out of 85 entries at this year’s Head of the Charles regatta in Boston!
CBC’s other boats also turned in impressive performances. CBC’s 4+ finished 35th out of 84 boats — which earns CBC an automatic entry for that event in next year’s regatta — and CBC’s 2nd 8+ finished ahead of over 40 crews, most of whom were their program’s 1st boats!
