The weather conditions were excellent for the heats on Friday, but soon deteriorated, causing the cancellation of a number of semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. Fortunately the conditions improved sufficiently by Sunday, to allow a full and uninterrupted day of finals.
All of the rowers acquitted themselves well in their respective heats and semis, with nine crews making it to an A final and three to a B final.
In the A finals, six medals were attained: two gold, two silver and two bronze.

We now commence final preparations for the Maadi Cup Regatta, which will run from Monday, 23 March to Saturday, 28 March, again at Lake Karapiro.
Needless to say, there is a good feeling in the camp; we are all looking forward to what will hopefully be a very productive and rewarding finale.
