Coalporters has traditionally been a coastal rowing club that races in the Hants & Dorset ARA, but these days also competes on the river in ARA regattas and head races in the local region. The past years saw the club qualify for the Thames Cup at Henley Royal Regatta for the first time in its recent history.  This season has been one of the most successful ever.  The junior senior men won the Hants and Dorset trophy for the first time in twelve years and the junior men put together a string of wins.  The womens squad continued to dominate with junior lady trophies in sculling and in the fours.  The senior ladies continued their dominance taking home the hants and dorset trophy and South Coast championship trophies.  Former project Oarsome pupil Caragh Mcmurty successfully represented the Great Britain rowing team winning silver in France.  Coalies has been the training base for successful Henley, Boatrace and International campaigns.  We have also housed adaptive rowers one which became world champion.

If you are new to the sport and keen to take part Coalporters has a very active and successful Novice Section.
