Regent's Park College Boat Club is the boat club of Regent's Park College, Oxford, a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford. It is based in New College Boat House which it shares with New College, Oxford. The Club was established shortly after Regent's Park became a Permanent Private Hall of the University in 1958 and currently owns one boat, named "Regent's Shark". The club competes in a number of University races in both the male and the female categories.

Past Record

The Boat Club has competed in most Torpids and Eights competitions throughout its history and occasionally puts out a boat for the Christ Church Regatta. It has won blades on a number of occasions in its history[1] and in 1979 it undertook a charity row from Oxford back to the College's origins in Regent's Park, London.[2]

The boat club has a record of thirty-two consecutive starts in a bumps race without being bumped once itself.[2]
