2007 Australian Masters Championships, Sydney International Regatta Centre NSW

2007 Programme Cover

2007 Programme Cover

These Championships were conducted at the great Sydney International Regatta Centre and the competitors enjoyed the experience of racing at the Olympic course.

The regatta grew in size again with over 1,500 boats and some 1,100 competitors including representation from USA, NZL and all States, 10 Olympians and J category rowing. The oldest competitor was 89 years old.

The weather was kind and enabled more than six lanes to be used to get through the program.

The Champion of Champions races were won F category scullers in both events. The Interstate Races were shared between Victoria and Western Australia. Victoria once again won the men's quad scull, no other State has yet won this race.
