We can't guarantee the beautiful weather of the past few weekends but you will enjoy the experience. We are even planning a trip to Williamstown soon. Safety briefing The double and quad head out for a session Sunday 23rd May 2021 Alex Clarke and Tom Davidson spotted the camera World Cup 3 Simulation Regatta Published 22 May 2021 Our rowers in national teams will compete on 10 – 13 June 2021 in Adelaide at the World Cup 3 simulation regatta. This regatta features the Australian Senior A, Para, Under 23, Under 21 and Under 19 rowing teams. This is a very important regatta on many levels. It is the last big hit out for our Olympic rowing team who have not been able to compete overseas for competition this year, and is the final regatta for members of the under age teams who also have been unable to compete overseas this year. The racing at the World Cup 1 and 2 regattas has been very promising for our teams and of an excellent quality. It is being conducted in Adelaide and not at SIRC due to the water quality following the NSW floods. An image below from April highlights the issues. Winter Sculling Published 22nd May 2021 The first event of the series is coming soon on the 5th June. The Club has a number of single sculls which can be used. If you are interested in using one, please speak with Meg Hester. Remember that you need to register to enter and also you can register for the series. Information about the Wintersculling series can be found here https://www.wintersculling.com.au/home/ The Schedule is below https://www.wintersculling.com.au/events/ Lighting requirements for rowing in the dark Published 22 May 2021 Bow and Stern lights With the dark mornings now upon us it is crucial that all rowers who are on the water (and coaches on bikes and powerboats) between sunset and sunrise all have adequate lighting for your safety and the safety of others. Rowing boats, in restricted visibility and between sunset and sunrise, are required to exhibit; • Two all-round white lights, one attached to the boat at or near the forward or bow end, and one attached to the boat at or near the stern end. • Bow light - A continuous white light is considered acceptable if it is visible in clear conditions from a distance of 1 kilometre. • Stern light - A flashing white light is considered acceptable if it flashes at least once per second and is visible in clear conditions from a distance of 1 kilometre. • Not withstanding the above, it is considered acceptable for a light to be masked so as not to interfere with the vision of the vessel’s occupants, provided at least one light is visible from any direction (see diagram below) Olympic Qualification Regatta - Lucerne 15-17 May Updated 18th May 2021 Congratulations to the women's quad scull who have now qualified for the Olympic Games after wining at the qualification regatta in Lucerne. The quad contained Ria Thompson who raced for Mercantile before heading up to Brisbane. Sadly the Olympic dreams of Red Matthews were put to bed after the men's double scull failed to qualify. The following story appeared on the Rowing Australia website. Nine boats now set to represent Australia at the upcoming Olympics Australia’s Women’s Quadruple Scull today secured a spot for the Australian Olympic Team at the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The crew won their final today (16 May) at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland to book a ninth berth for the Australia in Tokyo. Victory for Caitlin Cronin, Harriet Hudson, Rowena Meredith and Ria Thompson (Copyright RA) Meanwhile, it was not to be for the Men’s Double Scull and the Lightweight Men’s and Women’s Double Sculls who all missed out on qualification despite strong racing in highly competitive finals. Australia will now compete in the following boat classes in Tokyo – the Men’s and Women’s Pairs, Fours and Eights, along with the Men’s and Women’s Quadruple Sculls and the Women’s Double Sculls. In Switzerland today, Australia’s Women’s Quadruple Scull of Caitlin Cronin, Harriet Hudson, Rowena Meredith and Ria Thompson continued the dominant performance they have shown throughout the regatta, backing up their preliminary race win with a victory in their final to secure a berth for Tokyo. The crew, coached by Andrew Randell, led their final from start to finish to cross the line in a time of six minutes 29.93 seconds. Post-race, stroke of the boat, Cronin said, “We knew we had a really good chance. It was about executing our plan, doing all the small things right that we do in training. We are looking forward to moving forward to the Olympics. Onwards and upwards!” The Men’s Double Scull of David Watts and Campbell Watts put in a valiant effort in their final, in a bid to finish top two and qualify for Tokyo. The duo sprinted to the line, closing in on race leaders Russia and the Czech Republic, but the crew ran out of water, finishing in third place, 1.16 seconds behind the Czech Republic. The Lightweight Women’s Double Scull of Georgia Nesbitt and Sarah Pound needed a top three finish to qualify their boat class for Tokyo. In a challenging final, the crew finished in sixth place, with the qualification spots taken by the United States, Switzerland and China. Finally, the last race of the day featured Sean Murphy and Hamish Parry in the Lightweight Men’s Double Scull, the crew needed a top two finish in their final to book a berth for Tokyo 2020. The crew, coached by Don McLachlan, took on Canada, China, the Czech Republic, France and Switzerland and, despite a strong middle thousand, it was Canada and the Czech Republic that sprinted to the line to take the two spots for Tokyo. Rowing Australia Performance Director, Bernard Savage said, “We’re extremely proud of how all of our crews raced in Switzerland this weekend. The Final Olympic Qualification Regatta is an extremely tough event and all our crews made their finals and laid everything on the line in a bid to qualify for Tokyo. “We’re delighted to see the Women’s Quadruple Scull qualify for the Games, taking our total number of boats to nine. Our four crews faced a tough regatta with racing collapsed into two days, instead of the planned three, due to predicted adverse weather. They have all handled themselves impeccably in what has been a challenging tour.

The Mercs four in the Wyfold was the second race of the day and raced superbly. Unfortunately, so did Molesey BC who won in a great race. Our crew, probably the fastest crew we have ever sent to HRR finished behind the better crew. The time was sensational and worthy of a Visitors Challenge Cup win. Our crew was: bow – Ben Canham, 2 – Jack Kelly, 3 – Mitch Hooper, stroke – Angus Maloney, coach David Pincus. All credit to the crew and coach on such a great performance. Above: Off the start Above: Approaching the finish Next was the great race of the Australian women’s eight which included Club members Kat Werry and cox James Rook. They raced well and took out the Remenham Challenge Cup from the British eight in a fine race. It was closely fought out with the British crew not conceding at any time during the race.

He is one of only five Australians to have competed at six Olympic Games. NATIONALITY CAPABILITIES Australian Keynote Guest Panellist DATE OF BIRTH Ambassador 8/19/65 Appearances TEAMS INTERESTS Rowing Australia Health & Nutrition Wellbeing Leadership Family Business © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com BIO James began rowing at Carey Grammar in Melbourne, rising through the ranks to win national titles and earn international selection as stroke of the Men’s Eight at the 1985 World Championships. It was the first chapter in a glittering international career that included six Olympic Games (for three Gold & one Bronze medal), 11 World Championships (for seven world titles, including one in each of the five sweep oar events) and four World Cups (two titles). James competed in three events: the Coxless four, men’s eight and men’s pair and is the only rower in history to win world titles in every sweep oar event. Throughout the early 1990s James out-performed any competition he faced, winning an impressive 3 European titles, 2 world titles and an Olympic gold medal in Barcelona. In 1998, the ‘Oarsome Foursome’ returned to international competition and rowed as a coxed four, winning gold at the World Championships in Cologne.
