On a very wet Whanganui River our Clifton crews raced superbly and came away with some great results. The highlight, Clayton Potts winning the Billy Webb Men’s 1x. Madi Neale 2nd in the Women’s 1x. Jack and Oli wining the U18 2x Bridge to Bridge event.
Big thanks to the organising committee for putting on a great event.

The 2026/27 season is in full swing with some of the Novices heading to the Clive Stevenson Memorial Regatta. These are the results that have just come in from Gus Berghan who thought this would be a great first look at what regatta life will be like for rowers and parents. There were 1k races and 2k races.
1k: Girls got 2nd, Boys got 6th
2k: Boys got 4th
Our girls novice quad raced against the boys novice 8 and came 8th. Gus said that all our rowers had really good races and were please with their results and the experience, as were the parents.
We all look forward to another season and seeing all the results we have from our rowers. Special mention goes to Helen for coxing the crews, good to see you dusted off the cobwebs there Helen!
Also, our local Waitara regatta will be held on the 21st November so hope to see you all down there. Racing starts at 8:00. More information about that will be posted soon.

Amsterdam was on the agenda for the coaches but had to make the short trip over to Germany to watch the U23 World Championships, to watch Clay Potts in the men’s quad and former Clifton rower Madison Neale in the women’s quad! These 2 have worked so hard to get here and have done our club so proud! No matter what the results are, we know how much they have put into this campaign! And sometimes things don’t go according to plan but you can both hold your heads high! Also got to see the men’s 8 who got 2nd in their heat, so should be a great final! Amazing sights and very excited coaches!!
