Heybridge Basin (Cannibal Island)

'Round Northey Island'

The 'Round Northey Island' rowing race was first introduced as an event in the HBSA calender in the late 1970's, but after a few years expanded in to an RNLI event. For the first 5 years while they were active the event was completely dominated by the duo of 'Basiners' Ben Woodcraft & Peter Brookes.
