Founded in 1887 and still a thriving coastal club, training all year and competing at coastal regattas throughout Kent and Sussex each summer.
This weekend we travelled all the way down to Southampton for their Head of the Race event.![]()
It was a very busy event full of lots of CARA and Hants & Dorset boats and massive thanks to Southampton ARC and Shanklin RC who loaned us boats, which made it possible to get all of our crews on the water and to compete.![]()
Well done to all of those who competed:![]()

Yesterday a handful of HBARC members joined forces with @spitfirerowing at the Christchurch Head of the Stour event.
It's International Women's Day and we have so many stunning women and girls in our club who deserve the recognition for their volunteering, planning, driving around, enthusiasm, strength and determination! We love you#IWD2026
