🚣‍♀️🚢 A momentous time for Devonport, but the hard work continues on the Mersey for our athletes!

With one of the new Spirit of Tasmania vessels docked at Devonport’s new Terminal 3, our MRC crews had a pretty impressive backdrop for Saturday morning training.

While Devonport marked an exciting milestone, our athletes and coaches were busy putting in the kilometres and continuing their preparations for the rowing season ahead.

A great morning on the Mersey, with a little piece of Devonport history unfolding alongside us!

A Mersey farewell for Avé 💙

Avé wrapped up her final training session with the Mersey squad tonight as she prepares to move to Scotch Oakburn College next term.

Avé has been a valued part of our junior squad, sharing plenty of training sessions, racing and good times with this group along the way.

We’ll miss having Avé around the club and as part of the Mersey crew, but wish her all the very best for what comes next.

All the best, Avé, we’ll see you on the water! 💙🚣‍♀️

A little piece of MRC history on the Mersey this morning 💙

For the first time, “The Mervyn” and “Louise Tippett” took to the water together, with two full eights of MRC rowers.

From some of our youngest through to some of our older members, it was a wonderful sight to see everyone out there together and a pretty special moment for the club.

Two eights. One club. Team Spirit. 💙

🥉 What an achievement, Ella Marshall🇦🇺

A huge congratulations to Ella Marshall and Sam Stunell on claiming bronze in the PR3 Mixed Double Sculls at the 2026 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

Ella’s journey to the world stage has been nothing short of incredible. Less than a year after discovering she was eligible for Para rowing, she has earned her place in the Australian Para Rowing Team and, at her very first Senior World Championships, stood on the podium as a World Championship bronze medallist.

Ella will always hold a special connection with Mersey, and having watched her rowing journey over the years, we couldn’t be happier to see where that journey has taken her.

Congratulations Ella and Sam. What a moment, and what an incredible achievement! 🥉🇦🇺

With our new floating pontoon soon to become part of the club, we’re marking the occasion with the MRC Legacy Recognition Program, an opportunity for members past and present, families, crews, friends and our wider community to leave their mark on a club that has called the Mersey home since 1888.

Your contribution will be permanently recognised on our Legacy Model and will help us continue investing in the equipment and opportunities that keep our club moving forward.

Be part of the history. Be part of what comes next.

🎥 A little more from Winter Camp No. 1…

🚣‍♀️ WINTER CAMP No. 1 | DONE & DUSTED 💙

The first weekend of August saw the MRC crew hit Lake Barrington for our first Winter Camp of the season, and the Lake certainly turned it on.

Pristine water. Misty mornings. Plenty of kilometres. Plenty of hard work.

But these weekends are about much more than just kilometres in the boat.

They’re about learning to work together. Building combinations. Challenging yourself. Sharing meals, having a laugh and spending time with the people you train alongside week after week.

It’s where crews start to come together and where Team Spirit is built, both on and off the water.

A huge amount goes into making a camp weekend happen, and we’re very grateful to our coaches, volunteers, families and everyone who rolled up their sleeves and played a part.

One camp down. Plenty of work still to come.
Bring on Camp No. 2. 💪🚣‍♀️💙
