Thames Rowing Club's women's eight, containing members of the British squad, won the Remenham competition.
Elsewhere, the Princess Elizabeth was won by the Eton eight, who narrowly beat St Joseph's Preparatory School.
South African duo Ramon Di Clemente and Donovan Cech cruised to victory over Canadian Olympians Scott Frandsen and Barney Williams in the goblets, and the National University of Galway boat won the Visitors' Challenge Cup.
The Ts.S.K.A. Ukraine four won the Princess Grace Challenge Cup, while Wyatt Allen won the Diamonds and a Cambridge University boat triumphed in the Ladies' Challenge Plate.
