2016 Under 21 Trans Tasman Regattas

This regatta is scheduled to be run in two parts. The first leg is to be held in Sydney from 30th June to 2nd July 2016 with the second leg held at Lake Karapiro in New Zealand from 8-10th September 2016.

This is a teams event very similar to past series and highly effective in providing high level competition in a number of boat classes. There is one reserve per gender per team and squad rather than crew coaches.

The scullers row singles and a double. The sweep rowers pairs and a four. The scullers and sweep combine into eights. The reserves race a mixed double scull.

Points for racing are awarded in the finals as follows:

For W1x, M1x, W2- and M2-,
1st – 6 points
2nd – 4 points
3rd – 2 points
4th – 1 point
