Fastest boat at the regatta …KRI SPRING REGATTA

16.11.13

“It’s all pretty mixed up really – time trial and then heats based on times made for close racing, so really useful training. Standouts would be the U18 boys 8+ winning the A final, Connor and Andre, and U18

quad with Mania, Jordan and two U18 novice girls, Samantha and Gabrielle, and the U15 Boys Octuple who got significantly faster with every race during the day.”

Alastair Riddle, Head Coach

“The format of the Karapiro Spring Regatta makes it a lot of fun with the crews who entered last year wanting to enter again even in the middle of exams. With the time trial concept each crew had no idea what they would be up against.

Each crew new that no matter how they performed they would be against other rowers of the same ability, weather they be men or woman, boys or girls. The Rotorua crews took on the spirit of the regatta and tried their hardest to get

their best time to put them up the ladder as far as they could be. Some crews from other clubs just didn't get it and cruised down the course to get into a lower heat just to say they won, however I don't think they achieved

anything. The performance of all the Rotorua rowers have shown that we can look forward to an exciting season with many combinations looking good for the season to come.”

Glen Reichardt, Club Captain

Rotorua Rowing Club’s U18 Boys coxed eight oar crew of Conner McNamara-Spackman (stroke),Bradley Grant, Lewis Morrell,Tom

Coleman, Jonathan Curtis,Sean van Nieuwenhuizen,Cole Starling, Mathew Bennett and Keely Gage (cox) coached by Glen Reichardt won the overall time trial from the entire field of 127 crews in a time of 6 minutes and 23 seconds and went on to win the regatta in the A Final.

Rotorua Rowing club (RRC) crews time-trialed for their place in the heats and semi-finals at the KRI Spring Regatta in the weekend. There was a constant stream of races.

The fastest eight oars, racing alongside the fastest octuples, coxed fours, coxless fours, coxed quad sculls and coxless quads,and the fastest double sculls racing the coxless pairs and single sculls down the 2000m course.

Into its second year now Karapiro Rowing’s new Spring Regatta format is very impressive for the onlooker.The U18 Boys coxed eight oar, were a standout for Head Coach Riddle, along with the double sculls crew of Connor Broughton and Andre Le Lievre , coached by Glen Reichardt, who took 3rd in the time trial of 21 double sculls in a time of 7 minutes and 12 seconds and won their Final. The U18 mixed quad with Mania Oxenham(stroke), Jordan McNamara-Spackman , U18 novice girls; Samantha Mathews and Gabrielle Grattan and cox; Tyla Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen coached by Emma-Jane Weller, placed an impressive eight in a time of 7min 21 secs in their time trial of 47 quad scull crews. The Boys U15 Octuple crew of Liam Waites (stroke), Callum August, Cameron Bennett, Charlie Binks, Lexus Wharekawa, Kobe Anthony, Liam Franklin, Nathan Morshead and cox; Shelby Cuff, coached by Fiona Bassett, rowed significantly faster as the day progressed to win their Final.

Karapiro Spring Regatta RESULTS 17.11.12

Introduction

This year Karapiro Rowing is taking a fresh look at early season regattas with the view to making them more relaxed and more fun for the competitors. The spring regatta for 2012 will be different to previous years and will follow a completely new format. This year each athlete will be allowed to enter one event only but will race the boat they enter three times during the day. The format will be as follows:

Race Format Round One (Time Trial)

The first round of racing for the day will take the format of a Time Trial.All crews will be assigned a number to take part in the time trial. Crews will time trial over a distance a little shorter than 2000m at 10 second intervals.

Race Format Round Two

The Second round of racing will take the form of a conventional race and will be raced in eight lanes with a held start. The semi-finals will be put together based on the times gathered from the time trials. The eight fastest crews (of whatever boat type) will make up the first race, the next fastest eight crew will make up the second race. The same will apply until all crews have been assigned to a race. The whole idea of the way that the races is put together is based on times, so the races will be made up of different boat classes and genders as there could be women in boat racing men in a different boat type.

Race Format Round Three (Final)

The Final round of racing will be conventional racing in eight lanes with a held start over 2000m. These races will be based on the times from the previous round. From the previous round, the fastest eight crews will be in Final A, the next fastest eight crews will be in Final B and so on until all crews have been assigned to a final.

First time in New Zealand rowing.

The Karapiro Spring Regatta tested a first in format last weekend -geared for fun and fluidity. Each rower rowed the same boat three times. Each skiff class hit the line in the equivalent of a sailing start…rowing across the line with their ‘start’ time recorded at 100 metres. The first race was a time trial. The single sculls set off, 6-8 across(?) and at 30 second intervals. The second race was against boats with similar times regardless of type. Doubles were racing eights, quads and fours with similar times. From this the front runner boats went up a heat and the last boat went down a heat for the finals. The racing became very competitive against crews with similar ability.
“The highlight for me was to see the boy’s senior coxless quad race against the WHHS eight,” said Rotorua Rowing Club President Glen Reichardt
“with neither crew wanting to concede defeat and both displaying a superb display of very fast and disciplined racing.” The quad won by a very small margin.
“ Rotorua novice boys and girls did very well, with one boys crew making the 5th fastest final and four novice boys being part of the eight that contested the 'A' final. All crews displayed good boat speed and fitness for this time of the season” said Head Coach Alastair Riddle.

The regatta is being trailed at the beginning of the season to see how it measured up “We think it’s a good format and hope that it will be repeated at other informal regattas” said Coach Riddle

“- it provides even match ups with close racing.”
