19 CRC athletes traveled to Champion Lakes in Perth to compete at the Masters Nationals Championships which was a huge success for all members.

With gusty weather conditions across most of the week, we had many highlights from our on water performances as well as bonding together off the water. Overall the club finished 5th on the Club Point Score and 6th on the Medal Tally (out of over 80 clubs).

We would also like to acknowledge Jacquie, Jess, Anya, Cath, Stuart, Drew and Angelique who were selected to compete in the Victorian Masters State Team, both crews finishing on the podium with the women's 8+ winning silver and the men's 8+ taking home the bronze.

A special mention to our very own Brian who volunteered across the entire regatta, and presented medals to many of our athletes.
