A fast start in the F grade men's masters coxless four saw Hugh Dawick, Tim Rogers, Peter Grave and John Grant rocket out to an early lead.

They continued on to beat a strong field of Sydney clubs and win by six seconds.

Their boat, the Peter Antonie, was the same boat the Australian heavyweight coxless four rowed into bronze medal position at the 2000 Olympics on the same course.

The Men's F Quad scull of Dawick, Rogers, Grant and Milton Curkpatrick got off to a slow start but finished strongly. They were narrowly beaten to second place by a margin of 1.44 seconds.

The Men's F Pair combination of Tim Rogers and John Grant were looking to defend their title from last year.

They settled for second after they could not overtake a strong-finishing North Shore, missing out on the win by two seconds despite posting a faster time over the 1000 meters course than their previous two winning times.

John Faithfull in his 90th year was the oldest competitor at the Regatta in the Men's Single Scull J-M category.

The remaining members of the club all gained vital experience and performed well some competing at this level for the first time.

"We are pleased with the progress of the club over the last few years competing at State and National levels and becoming more competitive each year," club president Milton Curkpatrick said.

"The addition of club coach Tim Gillespie this year from the Macquarie University Rowing club has been a huge benefit to the club, not only preparing for regattas at this level, but also developing the Learn to Row program bringing on new and younger members to the club."
