1991 Programme Cover

The Nationals as per normal during this time was a selection regatta. The focus was therefore on the single and double sculls, and for sweep rowers, pair and coxed fours (coxless fours for lightweights).

Racing commenced on the Wednesday with heats, Thursday with repechages, Friday with semi finals and Saturday with finals. School finals were held on Sunday with the Interstate Championships.

To add to the festivities, team mangers and boat race officials had a dinner, the Australian Rowing Council, as it then was, had a dinner and a King's Cup luncheon was held for VIPs and sponsors.

National women's sculling champion Jenny Luff missed out of qualifying for the final after the button on her sculling oar came loose in the semi-final. As this occurred outside the first 100 metres, the umpire ignored her calls for the race to be stopped for a breakage. Whilst sympathetic to the champion not being able to defend her title, an appeal for admission into the final was dismissed by the jury.
