2023 Australian Coastal Rowing and Beach Sprint Championships

These Championships were conducted at Mooloolaba Queensland from Thursday 27th July to Sunday 30th July 2023.

The event also doubled up as the Oceania Championships which attracted 2020 Olympic Champion Emma Twigg from New Zealand.

Given the conditions, the beach sprints were moved on the last day to a more sheltered part of the beach near the break water.

The Championships also served as the Australian selection event. This created significant depth in the open races and many close finishes.
