Lincoln College Boat Club - Oxford | UK Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Lincoln College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Lincoln College, Oxford. Founded in 1847, it rows on the Isis from Boathouse Island at Christ Church Meadow and shares a boathouse with Oriel College and The Queen's College.

Rowing is free for Lincoln College members, with the college covering operating costs such as coaching and race entries. The Lincoln College Boat Club Society funds two-thirds of boats, oars and other equipment, with the college providing the balance.

The club competes in Oxford's Torpids and Summer Eights bumps races, as well as Henley Fours and Eights. Its women's crew also progressed beyond the time trial at Henley Women's Regatta in 2023.

Historical records include a photographed Torpid crew from 1900, Lincoln crews racing in the 1940s and the first women's eight at Torpids in 1980. In the 1950s the club left its college barge for the boathouse shared with Oriel and Queen's.

Lincoln entered five crews in the 2021 Summer Torpids, when the women's first eight made an opening-day overbump and the men's first eight held off Somerville on the final day. In 2022 the men's first boat won blades at Torpids, and every Lincoln crew recorded a bump on the last day.

The Boat Club Society was founded in 1976 and marked its 50th anniversary in 2026. It connects current rowers with alumni, supports equipment purchases and holds its annual dinner on the Saturday of Summer Eights.
