2009 Program Cover
The regatta was run in perfect conditions on Saturday 28th March 2009 at Nagambie Lakes. The weather was superb with a warm mid twenties temperature and no wind. The racing was, as a result, of the highest standard. The winning Melboourne Grammar boys crew broke the 6 minute barrier for the first time in the final of the first crews. The heats of the first and second boys crews were conducted on Friday night into a moderate cross head wind. These conditions necessitated in the lanes being seeded with the most favoured crews taking the most favoured lanes.
The girls first crew race was won easily by an excellent Geelong Grammar School crew who had won the Head of the Schoolgirls eights race the week earlier.
