11 March 2011, West Lakes, SA
2011 Program Cover
These were the first Championships at West Lakes and SA since 1999. The Organising Committee put on a splendid event with great spectator facilities. $2.3 million had been spent on the course and other infrastructure to bring the facilities back up to an appropriate condition. The improvements included a new starting and aligning installation, new buoying system, new pontoons at the finish, upgraded finish tower, timing system and photo finish equipment. The course is now back to the international standard expected of courses who host this event. Racing was conducted with a strong tail breeze.

Stroke of the NSW Dan Noonan reported the race as follows: "We thought the Victorians were going to jump out at the start so we needed to counteract that. We worked hard at the start and happily it worked out for us and we established a lead pretty quickly. By the 1000 metre mark the race was over. In these conditions (choppy with a tail wind) it's hard to come back so we all knew that if we held our technique we were in a strong position to win the race. That's how it turned out".

This was perhaps one of the most interesting races of the day. The NSW crew started with great speed doing 1 min 19 secs over the first 500 metres which would normally be an unassilable lead in the strong tail conditions. They extended the lead in the second 500m and were slowly hauled back in the last 1000 meters. It was an absorbing race.

The New South Wales crew had the best of the start but the Victorians put the accelerator down in the second 500m to take the lead. The race was never in contention after that point. That 500 metre time was the fastest 500 metres of all crews in the race.
