1992 National Championships—Carrum VIC
1992 programme cover
This was the first and only National Championships conducted at National Sports Centre at Carrum. The course was built as part of the Melbourne 1996 Olympic bid and proved to be a good course in the mornings but subject to adverse wind conditions with the afternoon sea breezes from nearby Port Phillip. It has subsequently fallen into disrepair.
The weather for the regatta was wet and at times, windy. Day 1 racing started well but by mid morning the wind commenced. Some lightweight and junior single sculling races hit 12.5 minutes in duration. After almost a six hour delay, racing recommenced late in the afternoon.
The technical innovation in 1992 was the introduction of hatchet blades by a sculler. These were to be the blades at the 1992 Olympic Games.
The regatta was conducted from Wednesday 11th March through to Sunday 15th March and formed part of the selection process.
