Cambridge Rowing Club wins the Faster Masters Victor Ludorum Trophy

At the start of Sunday with just the sprints to go, Cambridge Rowing Club are leading the Points Trophy by a narrow margin over Clifton Rowing Club!

The points trophy is a measure for each club of how many of the other clubs they have beaten head-to-head over all the races in the regatta.

Sunday Sprints daysheet released

Start time for Saturday racing is delayed due to fog.

There is more information available about the long distance race: safety, the start, navigation, the turn, and finish.

Safety Condition 7 no longer applies: there are sufficient support vessels that rowers aren't required to have a PFD on board

There will no longer be a separate Safety Briefing on Sunday for the long distance racing. Crew members (particularly strokes and coxswains) are encouraged to attend the Thursday regatta safety briefing online.

A draft schedule has been published. This is subject to change until supplementary entries are closed.

This year the regatta has a two-day format. Day one is similar to the August regatta e.g. blocks of 1000m age-group races, plus blocks will also have 500m racing, for Novice Grades and a new grade "Recreational Masters”+. We also have the New Masters Grade over 1000m for people that started racing after January 2020. There will be BBQ held after racing on Saturday. Then day two will be a morning of racing starting with 250m dash races followed by a 6000m long distance race.

+ "Recreational Masters" is more social grade of racing. You could be under 5 years rowing experience, or you might be returning to rowing after a lengthy break, or you might be an existing master rower who can only train once (maybe twice) a week. Competitive rowers are expected to enter the 1000m events.

There is currently a Gold Clam infestation at Karapiro. The rowing community needs to do its part to prevent this invasive species spreading elsewhere.
