Here’s a link to the share drive that contains a huge number of on water pictures from the 2026 regatta. More from the beach still to load… you can share your own pictures here too if you wish.

These images are reduced size but if anyone needs super high resolution we can supply an original.

Best viewed as tiles for easier searching.

Thanks to all. Some very nice feedback for everyone from DOC today. Well done.


Congratulations on a very successful weekend (from our perspective). We were very happy with the behaviours across the weekend and the clean up and had lots of lovely comments about our beautiful area.

My biggest issue was the lack of water flowing into the toilets, I apologise for any issues this may have caused, and I have the team looking into it today.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Sunday evening dinner and celebrations, no doubt you’re all exhausted!

All the best,

Thanks to all in the SIM Champs community (rowers, officials, organisers) for helping make this fabulous event another success.

We will be able to share some photos from the weekend shortly but in the interim it’s time to start training for Southland 2027!!

Welcome to our rowers, officials, friends & family to the 25th Anniversary of the South Island Masters held at the stunning Hans Bay, on Lake Kaniere.
We wish you all the best with your racing & catching up with rowing friends from far & wide.
