Information for competitors
We are trying to differentiate Australian Henley from other regattas on the RV program - 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.
