The Boathouse

The club's boathouse is one of the most spacious and comfortable on the river. The large main room has plenty of room for eight ergometers and sliders, as well as large patio doors on to a balcony and a carpetted area with comfortable chairs, with a tv for reviewing performance or for entertainment whilst training.

The first floor also comprises a weights room with fixed and free weights, and a third room for crew meetings away from noise and distractions on busy race days.

Other facilities include:

Several of the town clubs often use the main room as race headquarters and for prize-giving ceremonies, and in the past it has been used for drinks parties, BBQs, fireworks parties and even a very successful boat club dinner!

The postal address of the boathouse is First and Third Trinity Boat House, Kimberley Road, Cambridge, CB4 1HJ.

Boat storage

We rent some space to Homerton College's boat club. The boathouse therefore accommodates some thirteen VIIIs, five IVs, three or four pairs, and many sculling boats, many owned by local Cambridge residents or other boat clubs. For a full list of the Club's boats, click here.

The club also owns a trailer, bought in 1997, which we make good use of in travelling to regattas outside Cambridge, often taking boats belonging to other colleges too.
