In sunny, cool and mainly windless weather conditions, a record number of over 600 crews from all over Scotland took part in the Caley Marina Inverness Fours/Quads and Small Boats Heads on the superb rowing waters of the Caledonian Canal in Inverness over a course of approximately 4500 metres from Dochgarroch to the Inverness Rowing Club’s Boathouse close to the Tomnahurich Swing Bridge. All crews raced over the full length course with the exception of Novice and the younger Junior 14/15 crews which raced over a slightly shorter course length of approximately 3500 metres.
Much excellent racing was witnessed on both days of the regatta with the host club winning three events - Women’s Restricted 1 Coxless Pairs, Open Novice Coxed Quadruple Sculls and Mixed Masters Quadruple Sculls.
