Notices & Updates
Aon Maadi Friday Finals: Finals, events 22-42
Another beautiful day - just right for rowingThe re-row for silver and bronze medals in the event 6 (boy under-18 pair) will take place approximately 45 minutes after the Maadi Cup race. The regatta is now complete (ROTB then HAMB in the re-row to win silver and bronze ahead of MLBB and WNCS).
Aon Maadi Friday Finals: Semi-finals, events 31-40; Finals, events 1-22; coxswains race
A small amount of fog delayed the start of racing today but crews are now on the water and underway. Semi-final races are now complete (except semi 2 of the Boys under-15 double, which is at 1:05pm). Finals are underway. Drama in the A final for event 6, boys under-18 pair, a colision in the last hundred metres saw two of the leading contenders knocked out. The umpire has called for a partial re-row but the race is under protest so who knows what will happen!
- Sprinbok Shield: Hamilton Boys High School
(B U18 4+) [results | replay]
- Dawn Cup: Rangi Ruru Girls School
(G U18 4+) [results | replay]
Pure Playing Field Nation Thursday: Repechages, events 6-42; Semi-finals, events 1-27
A beautiful day with none of Wednesday's wind. This meant all the repechages were completed as well as most of the semi-finals, which brought the regatta almost back on track without having to cancel 'B' finals and/or compress 'A' finals on Friday/Saturday.
Waikato University Wednesday: Repechages, events 1-5
Too windy first thing. Still too windy but expecting change. Still too windy but hoping to get several hours' racing in. Racing started and 1 hour was squeezed in before the wind came up again too much. Repechages for events 1-5 were completed. Repechages will start from event 6, boys under-18 pair (race 186) tomorrow.

Defence Force Tuesday: Heats, events 22-42
An often overcast day that started with a cool morning but warmed up without - again great for racing. In the Levin 7th Jubilee Cup Nouth Island crews took one heat while South Island crews took the other but current titleholders Rangi Ruru Girls School was fastest overall, staking their claim to retain the Cup. (girls under-18 eights heats results) In the Maadi Cup both Westlake Boys High School and Hamilton Boys High School won their heats in sub-six minute times setting up a fascinating final for Friday. (boys under-18 eights heats results)
Massey Monday: Heats, events 1-21
A fine mostly sunny day with very little wind - excellent for racing and some fascinating battles in the heats. In the Springbok Shield perennial favourites Hamilton Boys High School have some tough competition this year from Westlake Boys High School. (boys under-18 fours heats results) While in the Dawn Cup current title holder Rangi Ruru Girls School will have a tough battle against Marlborough Girls if they want to retain the trophy. (girls under-18 fours heats results)
- Results: updated regularly throughout the regatta.
- Under-18 'B' Finals
The 2009 NZSSRA AGM sought 'B' finals for all under-18 events and the Regatta Committee has been able to accommodate this. So, 'B' Finals will be added for the Girls under-18 four, lightweight four and eight and the Boys under-18 eight.
