Founded in 1963, The University of East Anglia Boat Club stands as a competitive rowing club, training and competing throughout the year, nationwide.
By following the motto of, 'Fortune Favours the Brave' our crews have seen recent successes winning pots and multiple BUCS medals. We continue to develop and evolve the club to strive for larger titles. Our beginner programs consistently place in the 6 top university beginner crews.
The majority of training takes part at the Whitlingham Boathouse, which not only houses our extensive fleet of Hudson and Fillipi boats, but also provides a rowing-focused gym space for strength and conditioning, and ergo sessions.
This Boathouse sits alongside the River Yare, a wide 15km stretch of river that allows for varied training including side-by-side 8s and frequent races.
UEABC invites all levels of abilities from complete beginners to intermediate athletes, rowers, and coxswains. Our head of rowing has 16 years of experience coaching sweeping and sculling in a variety of boats ranging from singles to eights.

The Real Cost of Sport
The 'Real Cost of Sport' initiative, a project reviewed and rebranded by the Students' Union in partnership with uea+sport, aims to provide prospective members with a comprehensive overview of the potential costs of joining their chosen sports club. This year, I have worked closely with the clubs to ensure these tables are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
This guide is intended to serve as a general reference. The compulsory cost includes the uea+sport membership fee of £55, which is a one-time payment that covers membership across all clubs.
When considering additional expenses, it is important to note that some clubs may not have any extra costs, while others might incur additional fees. These costs often depend on the level of competitiveness within the sport; recreational or social participation is generally less expensive. Additionally, some equipment, such as shoes or gum shields, may be used across multiple sports, potentially reducing overall expenses.
For any specific questions or further information about a particular club, please contact the club directly or contact us at union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for more details about the project.
All the best,
Olivia Hunt
