Australian Masters Rowing Championships
- Hosted By: Rowing New South Wales
Regatta Venue
The Sydney International Regatta Centre was purpose built for the rowing and canoeing events in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and remains a magnificent legacy of that event for our sport. The course provides a constant 5 metre depth over 9 competition lanes, with rock-lined, wave absorbing banks designed to promote the best possible conditions for competition. The Centre provides a 1500 metre warm up and cool down facility adjacent to the racing course. A 1,000 seat grandstand provides spectacular views over the rowing course and, together with adjacent embankments and seating on the southern side of the course will accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.
