FACILITIES & FLEET
The Boathouse
The JCBC boathouse is one of the largest on the River Cam and occupies an enviable position next to the Goldie Boathouse, the home of CUBC.
Our lovely boathouse was built in the 1930s and underwent refurbishments in 2013. It is equipped with changing rooms, toilets and showering facilities, bicycle storage racks, kitchen, ergo room, and a crew room specifically for debriefs, crew meetings, and stretching.
The boathouse also has a coaches office and workshop.
We have two full-time qualified coaches, one focusing on the seniors and one on the novices, along with many other coaches to develop our rowers to their fullest potentials. Every year Jesus rowers progress to represent CUBC in one of the Boat Races. Our Head Coach has also reached the highest level of coaching qualification (Level 4) and has worked for British Rowing, providing the highest quality coaching around. Our assistant coach is Level 2 qualified.
The Boats
Our fleet is second-to-none, with a total of over 30 boats to accomodate our consistently high number of crews, typically more than four on each the men's and women's sides.
-
Men's 1st eight row in a 2022 Filippi
-
Men's 2nd eight row in the Chris McDouall, a 2018 Filippi
-
Women's 1st eight row in the Sally Adams, a 2021 Filippi (with a new boat on order for 2025)
-
Women's 2nd eight row in the Ian White, a 2016 Filippi
We also have a strong fleet of small boats, including three Filippi Men's pairs (2005/6), two Empacher fours, a Fillipi four, and numerous sculls from tubs up to quads. The small boats fleet was greatly expanded in 2020.
In January each year, a significantly subsidised training camp takes place, often in Spain, though we have also been to Portugal. This encompasses twelve men and women, across an 8 and some small boats on each side, as well as four coxes and four coaches.
