History of the Queensland GPS Head of the River rowing regatta

1991 QLD GPS Head of the River

The 1991 Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 23rd March 1991 at Lake Wivenhoe, Queensland.


In 1991 it was decided the official races for the premiership would be the Open 1st to 3rd VIIIs, u16 1st and 2nd VIIIs, U16 1st and 2nd IVs and U15 1st to 6th IVs. At the same time it was decided that the VIIIs’ races would carry double the points of a IVs’ race. Thus the maximum was then 42 points in each of the Open (3x14), u16 (2x14 + 2x7) and U15 (6x7) age groups so everyone who competed was able to contribute evenly.
