For many of us, the season culminates in a small town in Oxfordshire – in one regatta or another – but the sense of an ending here is deceptive. Henley has the history and the Pimms – not to mention a few hundred hectares of blazer-cloth, and more hats than a millinery catalogue – yet in terms of participation, it’s a rather trifling backwater. Rumbling into view at the start of each September is the largest regatta by far: World Masters. The numbers speak for themselves; this year, almost 4,000 athletes aged from 26 to 96 converged on the little town of Banyoles, Spain, forming 5,171 crews to contest 763 races over five days.
