Ourc In Action At Otago Champs

Dec. 16, 2010

Over the weekend the club raced in the Otago champs regatta on Lake Ruataniwha. The first day was cut short by a nasty headwind and racing was called off after an attempt at starting from the 500 metre buoy. Although the wind was strong the sun was still shining and the bbq at entertainment at the course was a lot of fun.

Sunday's weather was much better and most of the programme was completed. There were some good results for the uni crews, notably the novice crews which won several races by huge margins (up to 250m).
