Larissa Howie | Wednesday 19 February 2025 16:25 GMT. A boater has been fined after ploughing his cruiser through the middle of a boat race in a sweary fit of river rage on the Thames. Footage shows Scott Keen dangerously manoeuvring through a restricted area of the river, narrowly missing rowers and other boats, while yelling: ‘You don’t own the f****** water,’ during Kingston Amateur Regatta last July.
Keen, from Morden, Surrey, was fined the maximum penalty of £1,000 for disrupting the boat race and operating his boat without due care and attention. A crackdown by the Environment Agency on unregistered vessels in the Thames last year led to 40 boaters being fined a total of over £55,000 for their offences.
