Welcome to Fire Starter!

Darwin College Boat Club is proud to welcome a new VIII with a great name: Fire Starter!
After more than 25 years on the River Cam, it was high time for the Lord Renfrew to retire and give way to a younger, lighter and faster boat. After several weeks of negociation, DCBC finally bought Fire Starter from our sister College in Oxford, Wolfson College.

Fire Starter being rigged.

A little ceremony took place on Saturday 24 November and the new boat was christened with champagne. Let's wish her a long life on the Cam, full of victories and blades!

Fire Starter being christened by Ruth.

The Club is grateful to all the DCBC members for their financial support and to the committee for their efforts, especially Sebastian Müller who used all his German diplomaty to negociate with Wolfson College.
