Mental Training Tolo Harbour Regatta 2021 – Race Report

WORDS: CHRIS DE KOCK | IMAGES: HONG KONG, China Rowing Association | JULIE HO

Agood mix of novice and experienced rowers took to the waters of the Shing Mun River on Sunday 28 March. Representing the Club our rowers navigated the 3.7km coastal rowing course superbly. Full compliments of up to six boats in a race each competing to be the first crew around each turn in order to pick the fastest route to the finish.

Perfectly flat conditions allowed for competitive racing throughout the day. With the racing season being curtailed towards the end of 2020 and start of 2021, rowing races will be coming around thick and fast over the coming months.

All RHKYC athletes performed excellently here placing first in three divisions (results below). We look forward to the next regatta, the Harbour Regatta being held at Kellett Island.
