Everything about The Oxford University Boat Club totally explained
The
Oxford University Boat Club (
OUBC) is the
rowing club of the
University of Oxford,
England, located on the
River Thames at
Oxford. The club was founded in the early 19th century. Along with the
University of London Boat Club,
Durham University Boat Club and
Cambridge University Boat Club, OUBC is considered one of the
best university rowing clubs in the country.
OUBC's boat house on the
Isis (as the Thames is known at Oxford) burnt down in 1999 and much archive material, including photographs, was lost. OUBC now row from their new purpose-built boat house in
Wallingford, south of Oxford, following a successful appeal from 2004 to 2007.
The club races against the
Cambridge University Boat Club (CUBC) in
The Boat Race on the Thames in
London each year. It has produced
Olympic-level rowers (for example,
Matthew Pinsent) and coxes (such as
Colin Moynihan, who is playing a leading role in organizing the
2012 Olympic Games in London).
OUBC has the use of the
Redgrave Pinsent Rowing Lake in south
Oxfordshire.
