Crabtree came 2nd (Vet B VIII) and 3rd (Vet C VIII) in the Molesey Veterans Head on 18th Feb behind an impressive Molesey Vet B crew on their home water. The Vet C VIII won their category and the Vet E 4+ were also awarded a trophy. A useful first lung opener of the year for the 'tree vets.
The crews were:
Vet B: Marc Weber, Graham Smith, Matt Parish, Peter Jacobs, Guy Pooley, Humph Hatton, Graham Faultless, Johnny Moulsdale, cox Andy Probert
Vet C: Peter Lowe, Tony Reynolds, Paul Brockway, Ewan Pearson, Robin Waterer, Rupert Hare, Jon Tompkins, Tony Finbow, cox Catt Campbell
Vet E 4+ Chris Daws, Charles Lowe, Matt Stallard, Hugh Williams, cox Julie Hogg
2002/2003
The Crabtree
were cruelly robbed of a finish at the
Kingston Head of the River in March. A
disqualification of their entry was declared
after a steering mix up.
Despite an
appeal that Ravens Ait had been deliberately
moved by thirty feet to the right causing
confusion in both the LRC and Crabtree boats
leading the race, the decision stands.
