Anglia Ruskin Boat Club (ARBC) is the rowing club for members of Anglia Ruskin University.[1][2][3] It was known as CCAT Boat Club (usually said as sea cat) until 2008. The name CCAT derives from a former name for the university, the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, which is abbreviated to CCAT. The boat club kept the name CCAT much longer than its linked place of education – it was once thought the club would lose its positions in the bumps races if the name were changed, but that is urban legend (as is the notion that a club must retain 'college' in its name).
