University College Boat Club (UCBC) is the rowing club of University College at Durham University in north-east England, with over 100 members, a large boathouse and a fleet of boats.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 List of Clubs in Durham ) 〕 UCBC has a long history of racing success, winning the Grand Challenge Cup at Durham Regatta more than any other College (though the majority of wins were in the 19th Century) and qualifying for Henley Royal Regatta several times, most recently in 2001.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Henley Royal Regatta 2001 ) 〕 Founded in 1834, UCBC is the oldest society in Durham and is the oldest Boat Club in the North of England.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Oldest Society in Durham ) 〕 The club celebrated its 175th anniversary at Durham Regatta in 2009. The Alumni organisation is ''Floreat Castellum'' Boat Club (FCBC).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 FCBC ) 〕 ==Boathouse and fleet== UCBC uses University College boathouse on the River Wear just below Durham Cathedral and a short walk from the Castle.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 College Facilities ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 ARA Club Finder ) 〕 It is at one end of the rowable stretch of river in Durham, on the Bailey, downstream of Prebends Bridge but upstream of the weir. It was constructed in the 1880s and used to have a bar and baths. These have since been removed to allow additional racking space. The club shares a landing stage with St Leonard's School Durham who occupy the adjacent boathouse. The original College landing stage was too close to the weir and has been abandoned for many decades. UCBC owns 2 VIIIs, 8 IVs, and numerous smaller boats. These were manufactured by Stampfli, Janousek, Sims and Browns Boathouse and the oars were produced by Concept2 or Croker. The club used to own a minibus to travel to races. However it was sold in 2002 and trailer space is now provided by Durham Amateur Rowing Club or Durham University Boat Club. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「University College Boat Club (Durham)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
