Small Boats

Singles, pairs and doubles — book a slot to go out on your own or with a partner.

What is a small boat?

Singles and doubles let you go out independently or with a partner, without a coach or cox — ideal for extra mileage or technique work.

Do I need experience?

You need to be a competent rower comfortable on the water. All small boat users must have completed an OURCs capsize drill.

What is a capsize drill?

A poolside session covering what to do if you capsize — righting the boat, freeing your feet, and towing to the bank. Takes about 90 minutes and costs £7.50.

How do I book one?

Upcoming drill dates (Trinity 2026): Sunday 10 May 17:30–19:30, Thursday 4 June 19:30–21:00, Monday 15 June 19:30–21:00. Email ourcs.sabbatical@sport.ox.ac.uk to book.

Want to use small boats? Contact Tor (small boats captain) to get your capsize drill arranged. Once your captain has marked it as complete in the roster, this tab will unlock. More information at ourcs.co.uk/safety/capsize-drills/ ↗
