Australian Henley - Sat 20th Feb
Thirty -three members represented Hawthorn R.C. at the Australian Henley Regatta last Saturday. We had five crews racing in semi finals but none progressed beyond that point
A great day of one on one match racing was had by the squad. It was great to see both a men’s and a women’s master’s eight in respective semi finals on the day.
Here’s some vision of the HRC men’s masters eight chasing down the MUBC’s G eight which had a 16 second head start over the 800mt course . <HRCMMe8+ Video>
