2010 Regatta Events
A number of changes have been made to the format of the Australian Henley Regatta for 2010—making it big boat match racing in limited fields, over 1,600 metres, and now integrating club and school competition. We have introduced 3 new events this year—the Mens & Womens C8 and Womens U21 4X—as part of growing the regatta again and restoring rowing regattas on the Yarra to their rightful place in the peak season, all this and continuing to provide the best trophies of all Victorian regattas. We look forward to your support of Australian Henley and big boat racing on the Yarra.
The 2010 Australian Henley Regatta will feature a second round of racing for competitors in U21 & U17 events. We are creating a special event in a tight 4 hour package on the Yarra Course. Accordingly fields are capped at 8 entries which limits each event to a maximum of 3 round in the 4 hour regatta. Please refer to the entry information on the Henley and RV websites for guidance on which events to enter.
