Windsor Boys' School Boat Club is a rowing club based on the River Thames at 7 Stovell Road, Windsor, Berkshire. ^[1]

History

On 18 January 1939 the new school site was opened ^[2] and just one year later in 1940 the Boat Club was founded. ^[3]

The club was formed by members of Eton Excelsior Rowing Club who wanted to keep their club active during World War II. The club today belongs to The Windsor Boys' School of which rowing is their primary sport. The current boathouse is situated behind the School's playing fields on the River Thames. ^[3]

The club had produced multiple British champions.
