The new boat made by Liteboats with its collapsible trailer for transportation. To test it out, Tim Frederico and your correspondent went for a spin on Port Phillip on a glorious summer morning. With quality sculling and superb conditions, it was magic. Looking back to city from Port Phillip. If a member is interested in coastal rowing, please call the Captain or Secretary. Mercantile plans to be at the forefront of this rowing discipline. NSW Championships Published 23rd January 2021 Normally the NSW Championships would be a major selection event for Australian team selection. However several States have been unable to attend due to border closures. The event will proceed on the weekend of 5-7th February but without all crews. Mercantile will be represented by only a few crews. Details will follow shortly. Vale Reg McKay Updated 26th January 2021 It is with great sadness that we report of the passing of Reg McKay today. Reg was a superb umpire and significant administrator of the sport. The McKay family welcomes friends to the Mass of Thanksgiving celebrating the life of Reg at St Augustine's Church, 71 Somerville Road Yarraville on Friday 29th January at 11.30am with refreshments afterwards at Footscray City Rowing Club at 1pm. Reg umpiring at the Australian Championships in 1989 Reg umpiring at 1989 World Championships Reg made an enormous contribution to the sport at all levels, from club to the national level. He umpired and administered the sport at the highest levels being a long standing international umpire and also President of Rowing Australia. He has been Chairman of the Rowing Victoria Committee and also President of his club, Footscray City. He continued to actively row to almost the very end. Further details of his contribution can be found at: https://rowinghistory-aus.info/rower- profiles/mckay-reginald. He was an administrator who always sought to provide a sporting environment on which the talented could achieve their best. In 1990 as President of Rowing Australia, he arranged for Prof Theo Koerner to be guest coach of the Australian team. Theo did great work for the sport in the brief time he spent with us, particularly on training methods. Your correspondent was team manager at the time and witnessed first hand this great work. Recognition of Reg's achievements was made in 2011 when he was awarded the Julius Patching award by the Victorian Olympic Council. In his humble way, he noted that: I have enjoyed my journey with our great sport, many very exciting moments and also memorable ones, however I don’t believe the need for any further elaboration is required. Memories are best kept for "elaboration" over a beer. Reg is also the father of Michael McKay, one of Australia’s finest oarsmen and the Club's senior high performance coach. Reg McKay, Theo Koerner and Mike McKay in 1990 Drew Ginn speaks to Ben Ibrahim this Sunday night Published 22nd February 2021 Want to hear from Drew, listen in 9pm Sunday night for the second part of his interview with Ben Ibrahim.

  • The Rowing Shell Racing Boats (Often Called “Shells”) Are Long, Narrow, and Broadly Semi-Circular in Cross- Section in Order to Reduce Drag to a Minimum
    One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater’s program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he’ll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals. - Brad Alan Lewis The Rowing Shell Racing boats (often called “shells”) are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross- section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to increase the effectiveness of the rudder. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) for strength and weight advantages. FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology. There are several different types of boats. They are classified using the number of rowers (1, 2, 4, or 8) in the boat and the position of the coxswain (coxless, box-coxed, or stern-coxed). With the smaller boats, specialist versions of the shells for sculling can be made lighter. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat, whereas in sweep oared racing these forces are staggered alternately along the boat.

  • COME FORWARD - February 2021
    COME FORWARD - February 2021 There has not been a lot of rowing competition to report on over the last 6 months, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, but there has still been a lot of “background”. Administrators from Rowing Australia and Rowing NSW to all the individual Clubs have been extremely busy working towards when and how competition will resume, and how to manage training. We are fortunate that we have a sport that lends itself better than many to training under these circumstances, and it is clear that there are a lot more rowers getting out in Singles.
