Shiplake College Boat Club is a rowing club based on the River Thames at Shiplake College Boathouse, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.^[1]

History

Shiplake College was founded in 1959 by Alexander and Eunice Everett. The boat club is owned by Shiplake College and rowing became a primary college sport due to its location on the banks of the River Thames.^[2] In 2020 The Davies Centre was completed, incorporating a new boat storage and indoor training facilities. It was officially opened for former headmaster Gregg Davies in 2021, delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.^[3]

In recent years the club has won both the Schools' Head of the River Race and the Non-Championship Eights at the National Schools' Regatta.^[2]
