other information

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

2001b

 

Saturday 24th November 2001, 11am

110 crews entered, 107 starters, 106 finished

Fosters Cup presented to fastest crew.

24C degree day - sunny.

HRC was approached by Rowing Victoria to bring this event back from February 2002 to November 2001 to assist the programming of events for the season, and early running of the Kings Cup Regatta in Feb 2002 (hosted by RV).

Entries were down due to this change, and a clash with end of year school examinations.

First time Rowing Victoria officials used.
