The 3rd annual end of winter 10km erg and 10km run took place today. Plenty of competitors took part part in the men's division, but only 1 woman took part; however Bex Sharratt, a new rower from Wellington R.C. did very well with a time that would have placed her 7th overall.
Only one of last year's winners took part - Michael Tong, who still came a respectable 6th, despite having done no rowing training all winter.
Cam Forsyth won the event, just edging out Michael Abernethy in the final sprint by the club house. Gary Ward was the first masters rower home and took 3rd overall, while Josh Roughan posted the fastest erg time of 36:48.6
There were no records broken this year, but most competitors enjoyed themselves. The event was followed by a bbq and prize-giving.
Hopefully there will be more female competitors next year!

Star Boating Club prizegiving is this Thursday 30th June.
Given the success of the school rowers at NISS and Maadi last season, it should make for a good night.

The NZ national club champs for 2011 was the first regatta to actually complete all its races on an unusually windy Lake Ruataniwha this season.
Star sent a small Women's club squad, as well as being represented in the higher grades by our RPC rowers.
The RPC rowers wearing the blue and white hoops had some great racing. Geo Rodie and Linda Matthews helped Central RPC to win the U21 4x, while Linda also gained silver in the Premier 4- and 8+ in some competitive races. Joe Trappit also picked up a silver in the U21 4x and Premier 8+
Sophie Mackenzie, Robyn Munro, and Star's Geo Rodie and Linda Matthews, U21 Quad winners. Linda Matthews also gained a trial for the squad.
Congratulations to Geo, Joe and Linda. |

Star crews had some good wins at the 3 day Cambridge Town Cup at Lake Karapiro last weekend.
The lake itself was partially drained on Friday and Saturday and Saturday morning in preparation for a heavy downpour. (it rained solidly Fri night/Sat morning) This produced some interesting sites, such as lane one not even fully submerged, and crews running aground just after the finish.
Many crews made A and B finals, with wins in both. Notable results were:
Jess Paton and Tayler Gall won the U18 double
Tayler Gall and Charlotte Reinhardt won the U18 pair
Jess Paton, Philippa Loveard, Charlotte Reinhardt and Tayler Gall, coxed by Emily Barker came 2nd U18 coxed four
Jackie Kiddle, Philippa Loveard, Emily Mather and Phoebe Christensen coxed by Emily Barker came 2nd U17 coxed quad
Jackie Kiddle came 2nd in the U17 single
Ruby Tew and Meg Taylor-Smith came 3rd in the U17 double
Lillias Henderson, Christina Neil, Alex Ware and Lucy Saunders, coxed by Jasmine Hales came 3rd U16 coxed quad
The next regatta is the Wellington Champs this weekend. |

Star Boating Club was saddend to hear of the passing of Noel Lynch last weekend.
Noel's contribution to Wellington and NZ rowing over many decades has been huge.
Given the average age of the Star membership at the moment, it may not be widely known down at the club that Noel also had a major role at Star over many years - especially in school rowing (Rongotai College, Wellington College and Scots College in particular) his crews have given Star have many successes over the years.
More to follow on the many acheivements and stories of Noel, but for now our thoughts are with his family. |

Redding Shield, the season opener, was held a week later than scheduled on a shortened Korokoro course. This regatta is usually held in town on the Lambton harbour course, but with all the work on the new wharewaka taking place in town, the makeshift pontoon there would not accommodate the number of crews that would need to boat.
Star had wins in the Men's and Women's club 8, and the Women's open double. There were many second and third places, but they weren't enough for the club to retain the Redding Shield - won by Petone R. C.
