2001 PSA Head of the River
The 2001 PSA Head of the River was conducted on Saturday 17th March.
The venue for the 2001 Head of the River was on the Swan River course finishing at Canning Bridge. The weather conditions for the regatta was sunny with average temperatures of 18.8 degrees Celsius (65.9 degrees Fahrenheit). The wind speed for the regatta was between 5-8 mph (8- 12.8 kph) coming from a South Western direction.
