Local Boats for Sale

NO LONGER FOR SALE. NOTICE WITHDRAWN

Canberra Girls Grammar School is selling three of its boats – two coxed quads and one double scull. These boats are S&B built fibreglass & timber construction and make great learn-to-row boats. They are still being regularly used in the CGGSlearn-to-row program, but have now become excess to needs. They are cheap yet solid boats that would suit junior school students up to novice masters. Please contact Dafydd Gwynn-Jones at Canberra Girls Grammar School by or phone (02) 62026456.

CGS Regatta (#5) – Final Results

The final results for today’s regatta can be found here. The regatta was run in still conditions (max 6kph shifting
breeze) with the temperature around 18�C and light to medium
rain at times. Good racing conditions, but a bit tough on BROs and spectators.

was posted to the link below during the regatta as a trial of improvements. Other
improvements are mentioned in the February ACTRA Newsletter linked below.
