YouTube to the Rescue: Our favourite videos to ease you through isolation

As the world starts to find the next binge worthy series, we thought we would add our suggestions of what to watch. Our editorial team have picked out their favourite videos on Youtube for you to sit back, relax and reminisce about some of the best moment’s from our sport caught on camera. We’ve got a wide variety of Henley races, training montages and historical gems so hopefully we’ve covered all the bases. We would also encourage everyone to share a link to some of their highlights too.

In the meantime, grab some snacks and enjoy these classics.
