Boathouse

The club’s original boat house was in King Stable Street in Eton, Berkshire, close to Windsor Bridge. The site was leased from Eton College for 150 years but in the mid-1990s, the College decided to build on the site and the club had to find a new home. For five years the club rented rack space from Eton College at Andrew’s Boat House just upstream from Boveney Lock. The club eventually found the present site which was split with Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club who were also looking for a new site at the time. Wraysbury were able to stay at their existing site and withdrew. Construction was completed in 2001 and Eton Excelsior moved in in September that year.
