Fantastic outing at the bottom of the Yarra coming back with 4 golds.
Thanks to Steven Sheppard who not only rowed, but also provided our BRO duties for the day. Also to Max who towed the trailer to and from the city.
Also big thank you to our coxes Elke, Julie, Ruth and Guy for their coxing work during the day.

“In a day that will be remembered for extreme heat and the cancellation of a few final events to allow us to deal with a mounting number of heat stressed rowers, the HRC’s HOTY team delivered another exceptional event. From the Melbourne start team led by Catherine, our marshals along the 8 kilometre course led by Linda, our Hawthorn park team with Ruth on landing, Nichola on the bar, Tiffany on soft drinks, Vic and Tristan on the water, Jim’s timing team, Steve on racks, Anna and Kate on volunteer food, Linda with umpires, Robyn on medals, Richard on signs and money, Chris and Julie on front of house, Pat, Sue and Richard on AV, Ollie snapping, Grace and Julie W on Socials, Simon and Melissa juggling many issues and I could keep going. Not forgetting Belinda and Fiona who are our ninja’s of the event - silently delivering our very time consuming permits while the rest of us have no clue they are there! And a shout out to Natasha who like Belinda and Fiona silently and efficiently put together the entire volunteer team.
And don’t forget our wonderful sponsors and supporters with Sykes, RivalKit, Bakers Delight, Prime Value, Diggin’ in the Cellars, Bendigo Bank, Regatta Solutions, Rowing Victoria, City of Boroondara, Parks Victoria, Life Saving Victoria and the City of Melbourne.
Get the picture? It was a HRC family and friends affair with everyone in and doing their bit. So many of our young members (shout out to Max) and their mates gave us their energy and in turn learnt what a great event our club has created since inception in 1957. For a group that does not rehearse, we come together one day a year and sync like a bunch of pro’s. It is a credit to the club and has given HOTY an international reputation as one of the big three head races in the world, and a deserved reputation within Australia and NZ as the go to event. Go orange army!”
RV Schoolboys Regatta
Great job to the junior boys quad who took out second in the Year 8 first division. To put it into perspective, there were 134 year 8 crews!
And no, it was not sunny on the day…
Carrum Regatta
Unfortunately no photos for this regatta (at least that I have on hand at the time of writing) but fantastic results against the typical bipolar Melbourne weather which was changing all day long! We came home with 7 golds, 7 silvers, 5 bronze at the end of the day. Really fabulous results!
Big thanks to Max, Bill and Mark for towing. Congrats on Jack, John and Emmet on their first regatta as well.
