Mosman tt protest
by Nick, October 30th, 2008 | News | Email This Post
There has been a protest by Sherro, which has been upheld by the stewards. Some dodgy mental arithmetic by the apprentice timekeeper saw Tim penalised by 30 seconds, which led him to the brink of despair. However his time has now been corrected to 24.29. Tim also distinctly recalls agreement by all who were present in Boston that they would attend this weeks time trial, and with him being the only Boston rep present, is convinced that everyone is in hiding ...

Mosman@Armada Cup Switzerland
by Nick, October 28th, 2008 | News | Email This Post
While our men and women rowers plus ubercoxswain Beth Smith were wending their way back from the Head of the Charles regatta in Boston, another Mosmanian in Bill Chambers was doing battle on the other side of the Atlantic. Bill who is living in Switzerland, was the sole Australian and Mosman representative in the 9km Armada Cup raced in Berne. In a fantastic spectacle, 200 scullers compete in a massed start, and as you can imagine, prangs and the odd multilingual obscenity ...

NSWRA Spring Regatta 2008
by Annie Taylor, October 28th, 2008 | Articles | Email This Post
Yesterday the Regatta season for 2008 began in earnest. We have already had great performances from our aspiring representative rowers at NSWIS Timetrials. And there was even a sighting of the "F" troop on the Nepean River last weekend. But yesterday all sections of the club were represented at SIRC. We had our newest Juniors--both a boys quad and a girls quad--some of them only rowing for a few weeks but now on the water and racing on the Olympic course and having ...

Mosman @ Boston 2
by Nick, October 19th, 2008 | News | Email This Post
Well the men's race has been rowed and run and what a race it was! Everyone should be very proud of the performance of our VIII. The locals all say that winning here is a 2 year project- the first year you should plan to achieve a placing higher than that at which you started as an unranked newcomer, and the second year to launch your yourself for the finish and the win. Some facts about our crew ...

Mosman @ Boston
by Nick, October 16th, 2008 | News | Email This Post
The mens VIII has settled in at the magnificent Boston Uni boatshed, about 1500m from our accommodation. So it's a pleasant stroll along the river to and from training. The college crews train early and then we have access to the boatshed from 9 a.m. No one is complaining about the later start- especially me. Noticed photos of our Jaxon Rudduck prominent on the wall in the shed. The club has been very hospitable to us. ...

Daylight saving this coming weekend
by Nick, October 1st, 2008 | News | Email This Post
Next Monday 6th October will be our first weekday row under new daylight saving time. Please organise batteries, lights and tape to attach lights to your boats before then. Lights must be white, on both bow and stern, and visible 360 degrees. Red bike lights are not acceptable. As it is currently school holidays, there are a lot more recreational boats on the water at the moment, and in the interests of safety, no boats, club or private, will be permitted to go afloat ...

Mosman is proud to announce that one of Australia's best performed athletes has started coaching at the club.
