History
The club was founded in 1981 by Wade Newmark who helped to purchase the first boat which was an eight. Following a dormant period the club purchased a new boat and has competed in events ever since. It regularly participates in the Torpids and Summer Eights. Women joined the club in 2016 after purchasing their first boat called Ithaca.[3]
The college's boats are stored at the Corpus Christi College Boat Club boathouse.[4]
