E08: Regatta Madness

Todays Episode we discuss the Highlights from the Rock the Boat regatta. The best races the top performers and some awesome points about the regatta. We then get into the Buffalo Regatta and chat about what we are looking forward to seeing on the river and some incredible facts about this 137 year old event. We also have a guest on the show Bert Doggart who raced and won the Grand Challenge in 1974 who brings a different perspective about the Regatta. Give us a share and let us know what you think.

(Eg. If you race in the Men's Eight the world record is 5.18 so the Rock the boat time for each age group is predicted off this time.) Results: 1st: RMB National Team Lightweight Women's 2x, Kirsten McCann & Nicole van Wyk. 2nd: RMB National Team, Heavyweight Mens 4-, Kyle Schoonbee, David Hunt, John Smith, Sandro Torrente. 3rd: St Albans, u19 1x, Liam Smit.
