Whangārei Rowing’s Best Maadi Regatta Yet!!
What a week in Twizel! Whangārei crews have delivered their most successful Maadi Regatta campaign to date, competing against 127 schools and over 2,200 rowers from across New Zealand.
Across the board, our rowers came back with amazing results.
✨ 4 x A Finals
✨ 8 x B Finals
✨ 2 x C Finals

Huge congratulations to our standout crews:
🥈 Dovey Mabey & Anna Barradel (Huanui College) – Silver, U17 Girls Double Sculls
🥇 Camryn Collison & Tiia Cooke – Gold, U16 Girls Double Sculls

Travelling all the way to Twizel as the furthest team is no small feat, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our sponsors 🙌

A huge thank you to the team at Classic Builders for rolling up their sleeves this week and putting in the mahi behind the scenes. 🪵🪓

They’ve been chopping, prepping and delivering firewood — and it’s all in support of our boys’ rowing squad as they prepare for the North Island and NZ Secondary Schools Championships (Maadi Cup). 🏆

We’re especially grateful to Chris, Classic Builders’ Construction Manager, who many of you know as one of our dedicated coaches. He’s there at the crack of dawn most mornings helping our athletes grow — and it means a lot to see that same commitment reflected by his wider team.

All proceeds from the firewood sales are going directly towards supporting the boys’ campaign.

This is what community looks like. Teamwork on land and on the water.

Thank you, Classic Builders — and good luck to our boys as they train hard and represent our club with pride. 💙
