Clare Hall Boat Club

Clare Hall Boat Club is the boat club for members of Clare Hall, Cambridge, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It shares a boat house with Clare.

Clare Hall Boat Club is the youngest (founded 1995) and one of the smallest boat clubs at Cambridge.

They won the Pegasus Cup in 2010, awarded annually to the most successful college boat club at the May Bumps (measured by a points system based on how many places a club moves up the rankings).

In Lent 2015, the M1 crew bumped Hughes Hall M1 on the last day of bumps - and for the first time since 2003, they are officially no longer the lowest M1 on the river. This ignores the irregular entries by the Medical School (Addenbrooke's), Vet School and Theological colleges (Ridley, Wesley, Westcott and Westminster). They have risen from 8th position in the M4 Division to the 5th position in the M3 division - 20 places in 5 years. This is due to a +6 year in 2011, +3 in 2014 and 2015, and the anomalies of lesser crews not making into Lent Bumps from the Getting On Race.

In addition to this, their Men's 1st crew have risen from the 7th place in 5th Division to top of the 4th division (after 2013) in the May Bumps since 2007 (24 places in 7 years), a steady rise of no less than 3 bumps per year with the exception of 2012, when they fell one place.
