New Boats arrive in Manila

Two brand new Swift coxed Quad/Four convertible boats have arrived at Manila Port. Hopefully they will be delivered to the Club shortly, where they will be christened Alan May and Feildtech in recognition of the generous sponsorship given by them. This is a momentous occasion for the Manila Boat Club as it is the start of a completely new fleet of 4 singles, 4 doubles and 4 coxed quad/fours. This will not only ensure we have a proper fleet to host the ARAE/FEARA regatta at Lake Paoay, Ilocos Norte in January 2013, but also permit the start of the student rowing program, bringing more university students into rowing and hopefully finding the next Philippine rowing medallists.
