A&nbsp;captain&nbsp;of equally dubious morality and sobriety, a master of self-promotion and self-interest, Jack fought a constant and losing battle with his own best tendencies. Jack&#8217;s first love was the canal, his second, his beloved boat&nbsp;the Nicola George.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The son of&nbsp;Captain Lenny Roe, Jack was born on a pirate ship in a typhoon. Before he was known as &#8220;Captain Jack Roe&#8221;, he was simply &#8220;Jack&#8221;, a teenage stowaway with a desire for adventure. Jack first rowed&nbsp;on the Henley reach&nbsp;with a&nbsp;young ragtag crew&nbsp;on a&nbsp;quest&nbsp;to locate and procure a legendary National Schools Medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his teenage adventures, because of&nbsp;rogue 18th birthdays, Jack was forced to abandon the junior life and&nbsp;started a course in medicine at the University of Manchester.&nbsp;He quickly joined the boat club and rose through the ranks to become Captain at the end of his first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the good Captain had more grandiose ideas, so he abandoned his trustworthy squad and through nefarious means became president of the whole club. Some have said due to political wranglings he&#8217;d forgotten rowing entirely and some evidence of this was on show through the enclosures. Only time will tell the truth of such rumours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hattie West<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance Captain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"374\" height=\"432\" data-src=\"http:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3468 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49.png 374w, https:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49-260x300.png 260w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 374px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 374\/432;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"374\" height=\"432\" src=\"http:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49.png 374w, https:\/\/mubc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-24-at-15.08.49-260x300.png 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hattie has also just finished her first year at Manchester, however she had been rowing for a long time before joining MUBC in September.
