SUBC is the one of the oldest sporting Clubs at Sydney University, one of the five founding clubs of Sydney Uni Sport and one of the oldest rowing clubs in Australia, having been established in 1860.
SUBC normally row from their boatshed located at Linley Point, on the Lane Cove river. Unfortunately the shed was destroyed by fire in what appeared to be an arson attack at around 4.30 am on 29th March 2006. While a new shed is being constructed Sydney University have been blessed by the generosity of our neighbours, St Ignatius College who have assisted our teams to keep rowing.
