<strong>March</strong> Boat Section Report<br />
Since the last newsletter the boat section have had great success both on <strong>and</strong> off the water.<br />
The 17 th February saw a very successful tin rattle with another scheduled for 24 th <strong>March</strong>. A<br />
swag of medals has also been won at Stockton for the Navy Australian <strong>Surf</strong> Boat Series Open,<br />
the Masters State Titles at Lorne as well as the Victorian State Titles at <strong>Anglesea</strong>. Last weekend<br />
saw the Reserve grade men pick up silver in the <strong>Life</strong>saver relay.<br />
At Stockton medals where won by all competing masters’ teams. The 240+ Men took home<br />
the gold in a closely fought battle with Fairhaven. 180+ women won bronze <strong>and</strong> 160+ women<br />
brought home the silverware. The open women battled trying conditions to make it through to<br />
the quarter final.<br />
At the Masters States Titles at Lorne many more medals were collected with both the 140+<br />
women <strong>and</strong> 240+ men winning gold <strong>and</strong> the 140+ men finishing in the bronze medal position.<br />
The State Titles at <strong>Anglesea</strong> saw the<br />
women’s open crew make the final in<br />
what was arguably the closest fought<br />
race of the weekend with Jan Juc the<br />
clear winners <strong>and</strong> Lorne Edge, Lorne<br />
Clippers <strong>and</strong> <strong>Anglesea</strong> Weeds all on<br />
the same wave battling for second<br />
<strong>and</strong> third, unfortunately the results saw<br />
the ladies piped for a medal with the<br />
two Lorne crews granted equal<br />
second, leaving <strong>Anglesea</strong> medal less,<br />
but now even hungrier for glory.<br />
Three crews will be competing at the<br />
Aussies this year <strong>and</strong> we wish these<br />
crews the best of luck as they attempt<br />
to top what has already been a most<br />
successful season.<br />

“In rowing I found a sport that dem<strong>and</strong>ed some skill, granted, but placed a much higher<br />
premium on plain hard work <strong>and</strong> persistence.” -- Harry Parker, Harvard Freshman Crew Coach<br />
(1961-1963); Head Coach Harvard Crew (1963-present)<br />
Want to Keep in Touch Over Winter<br />
The perfect way to keep up with happenings around the <strong>Club</strong> is to join in with the <strong>Anglesea</strong><br />
Bears.<br />
First Sunday of each month the Bears go for a brisk (quick) swim <strong>and</strong> then thaw out over a<br />
BBQ lunch.<br />
Various sections hold training sessions prior to Bears <strong>and</strong> the day concludes with a rendition<br />
of the Bears Anthem. This is a day for ALL members from Nippers up so come along <strong>and</strong><br />
join in as the Bears emerge from hibernation on Sunday 5 th May<br />
