The Victorians got the crew together in seven weeks this year but still were no match for the NSW crew. The Victorians also used swivel rowlocks for the first time. The best part of the racing was for second place between Victoria and Tasmania as NSW had first place clearly won early in the race winning in the end by 2 1/2 lengths. There was little separating second and third.
