The 171st Wingfield Sculls ('The British Amateur Sculling Championship and Championship of the Thames') took place on Thursday, 27 October 2011, over the 'Championship Course', Putney to Mortlake in London.
Henley Royal Regatta stars in Columbia Pictures' The Social Network, released October 2010.
The film features twin brothers Cameron and Tyler
Winklevoss, whose claim to be the original founders of Facebook prompted a
multi-million dollar court battle with ex-colleague Mark Zuckerberg.
The brothers rowed for Harvard University in the 2004 Grand Challenge Cup
final, and the film's producers used HRR 2010 to re-enact Harvard's loss to Dutch crew Hollandia Roeiclub.
