The results of yesterdays regatta have been published and can be found here. The first two hours of the regatta had light to no wind, and then it picked up to 35-40 kpm/h with gusts to 50. This resulted in some races being shortened and running starts from the 1500m start.

Triathlon ACT has advised that a swim leg of a triathlon will be held on Tarcoola Reach on Sunday 7 December. It will have a buoyed course outside the Radford boatshed that will enable traffic on the water to go around it. The swim will be 09:00-10:00. They will also be conducting a cycling race on Lady Denman Drive which will result in a road closure from 08:45 until 10:00.
