Winter Park Crew Women Head (Back) to Henley
In July 2022, the Winter Park Crew Women's V8 competed for the first time ever at the Henley Royal Regatta. After clearing a field of 25 boats, the team made it all the way to the final race.

This summer the boat is headed back to compete again. The 9 athletes will be accompanied by Head Coach Michael Vertullo.

The prestigious Henley Royal Regatta is held annually in Henley-on-Thames, England. Visited by more than 300,000 people each year, the Henley Royal Regatta is the most prestigious regatta in the world and the highlight of the summer rowing calendar and social season in the UK. The first Henley Cup Regatta was held in 1839 and has been held annually ever since. In 2021, the regatta opened a new event for Junior Women’s Eights -The Prince Philip Challenge Trophy.

Winter Park Crew has a long history of winning state and national championships, including 40 State Championships. In the 2021-2022 season the V8 was undefeated in the US.

These athletes practice 11 months a year, six days a week, while also holding an average GPA of 4.5. This particular boat is giving up six weeks of its summer to train and compete at the Henley Royal Regatta.

Help Winter Park Crew Renovate The Training Center
The Winter Park Crew team has built a program that has won 9 national championships and 40 state championships despite a training center is far too small for the approximately 120 athletes that train there every day.

During the summer and early fall months, there is a major lightning storm nearly every day. The buildings on our property do not give us enough covered and safe space to bring all the athletes inside. Most days we have to have the middle school team take shelter in the boathouse that has no power.

The teams are also forced to stagger practices so that one team can train on land while the other team trains on water. The Middle School Team is forced to practice after the Mens and Womens teams are done, often practicing until almost 8pm.

This renovation will allow us to accomodate all of our athletes on the property in a training center that is larger and updated, rather than rundown.

Thank you for helping us complete this $200,000 renovation by the end of this season.
