SELECTION OF ACT MASTERS REP CREWS FOR 2017

Rowing ACT has announced the process by which ACT State crews will be selected for the 2017 Australian Masters Rowing Championships. The Inter-state events are:
Women’s Eight
Women’s Quad
Men’s Eight
Men’s Quad
All nominees will be required to complete a 1000m time trial at 8am on Sunday 19th March 2017. Please send crew and sculler entries to rowingact@gmail.com
No seat fees will be charged for these events.
Separate time trials/races will be conducted for quad scull nominees in single sculls and for eight oared nominees in coxless fours.
If less than eight crews (or scullers) nominate for any of the time trials, then they will be conducted as a straight race. No Masters handicaps will be applied, i.e. all crews (or scullers) will start together.

Interstate Quads
Nominees wishing to be considered for the quads must trial in single sculls.
Selection of the quads will be based on the rankings from the sculler trials, as well as ensuring each crew averages 50 years or greater at December 31, 2016.

Interstate Eights
Nominees wishing to be considered for the eights will trial in coxless fours.
The average age of the trialling fours must be 50 years or greater, and all crew members must have nominated and be available to compete in the state crew. The first two fours across the line will be selected as the state eight-oared crew. Crews averaging less than 50 years will not be considered for selection.

Nominations are to be made using the nomination form at https://form.jotform.co/53497043388869
Nominations close at 5pm Friday 3rd March 2017.

Reminder to put lights on boats before dawn and after sunset

We have received reports of crews and scullers without lights when training in darkness before dawn.

All clubs should have a supply of lights. All crews should check the batteries in the lights to ensure they are visible.

ANU Regatta – Steve Fairbairn Cup won by Newington College

The ANU Regatta, which was held on 4 February, was the biggest regatta of the 2016-17 Season and we thank everyone for their participation.  We were fortunate that the regatta ran its full schedule despite earlier concerns over wind and heat.

We had a number of interstate clubs participating.    In order of the number of entries these comprised Newington, Kinross, Shellharbour and Shoalhaven.

Congratulations to Newington College in winning the Steve Fairbairn Memorial Trophy.  This trophy is awarded to the Club scoring the highest number of points at the ANU Regatta.  It was won by CRC in 2016 and by Kinross in 2015 and 2014.
