2006 Australian Masters Championships, Lake Nagambie VIC

2006 Programme Cover

Competing in southern Australia in May will always provide both warm and cool conditions and this regatta was no exception. The weather was warm and calm on the first day, a fresh and cool southerly wind on the second day made it uncomfortable and the final day had cool and calm conditions making for good racing.

The regatta was well organised and included the same facilities as would be provided at a National Championships. The fact that the photo finish equipment could differentiate down to 1/1000 second and at least one placing was determined down to 4/1000 second caught some masters unaware of the sophistication of the regatta.

Over 750 competitors rowed with one person racing in over 20 races. In many races, heats were required to get into the finals of 8 crews. No heats were conducted for mixed events and division used for these events.
