Stuart Mackenzie had returned to Sydney and was placed second in the NSW State
Championships. As Bob Shirlaw rowed in the eight, Mackenzie raced the single.
He was favoured to take the title but unfortunately was well off the pace in
the finish. The stormy Mackenzie unsuccessfully protested the heat race against
Kert and rowed through the repechage. Reg Free raced superbly to take his first
Interstate Sculling Championship, 3.4 seconds in front of Jeff Sykes
