Durham School Boat Club's newest racing shell has been named in memory of Max George (P, 2009–14), who tragically lost his life while serving with the British Army in June, 2022. 

The new Wintech Cobra 4x will carry Max's name in competition on the River Wear and at regattas across the country, creating a lasting bond between the much-missed former Captain of Boats and future generations of Durham rowers.

Purchased as part of the Boat Club's ongoing development plan, the Cobra 4x will help pupils develop their skills and compete at the highest level. 

Our thanks go to Oarsport, particularly Jack Wilson, for their support and expertise, and for the many ODs and parents who continue to support DSBC. We look forward to seeing the Max George take to the water.
