1986 Programme Cover
The South Australians were again very pleased to present their new course to the rowing community, especially since it was the State of South Australia's Jubilee 150 year.
1986 was to become a great year for Australian rowing with Australia winning it's first ever World Championship in the men's eights. It was also the last time that rowing was conducted at the Commonwealth Games. The racing at this regatta was an integral part of the selection process for these teams.
Victorian Clubs did well at this regatta with 16 titles, 5 women and 11 men, out of the 47 events. Mercantile won seven of these championships.
Some of the best finals came from the lightweights with both the men's pair and men's double producing great racing. Current national lightweight champion sculler Adair Ferguson won the open women's scull.
A comprehensive set of photos from the regatta can be found on the Australian Rowing Images website.
A full copy of the 1986 regatta program can be found through this link.
