2008 will see the 50th staging of Head of the Yarra - Saturday 29th November 2008.

Awarded The People’s Choice Regatta for 2005, 2006 and 2007

Awarded Regatta of the Year 2003/04 by Rowing Victoria

2001a

 

Saturday 3rd February 2001

129 crews entered, 128 starters, 127 finished

Fosters Cup presented to fastest crew.

37C degree day - with hot north easterly wind.

Largely due to heat, 6 or 7 young people suffered from heat stroke and were attended by St Johns Ambulance. 7 ambulances were called by St Johns, taking 8 people to hospital for observation. Naturally these problems were highlighted on TV news, including in London. Rowing Victoria scrutinised event as a result of school and parental concerns - strict controls to be introduced in future.

Despite all of this, the event was a great success. New Seiko Print-Out watch used for the first time.
