Thank You to All Our Teams!

We were able to complete all of the 500m races at this year's festival before thunderstorms and heavy rain forced the cancellation of the 2km Championship Race.

Congratulations to all the teams who competed and helped make it a fantastic day of racing!

We appreciate everyone's understanding, and hope everyone had a great time on the water!
