LRC enjoyed mixed results at this year's Henley which ended on Sunday 2 July 2017.
Wyfold Challenge Cup
London's 'B' four were the fastest non-qualifiers in what was probably the most competitive event at the Regatta.
The 'A' four - the Club's top boat and a selected crew - battled to hard-fought wins on the Wednesday and Thursday before succumbing to a tough Australian crew on the Friday.
Thames Challenge Cup
Two crews were required to go through the Qualifiers. London 'C' just missed out, but London's 'B' eight did qualify and won their first race against Nottingham & Union, before going out to a strong Oslo crew on the Thursday.
The 'A' eight, who were also a selected crew, suffered sickness on the eve of the Regatta, and lost narrowly to a fine Agecroft crew in the first round, in one of the fastest times of the event this year. Agecroft went on to the semi-finals.
Visitors' Challenge Cup
Sadly, London's four were no match for Taurus, who beat them quite convincingly in the heats.
Ladies' Challenge Plate
Will Geffen was London's sole representative in the Molesey & LRC composite eight which contested this event, rowing in the bow seat. They reached the final, but were narrowly defeated by the Oxford Brookes & Taurus composite in a time just short of the record.
