Oamaru Rowing Club triumphs in long-awaited race

Although they had to wait two months to beat the New Zealand navy in a cutter race at the Oamaru harbour carnival on January 21, it was worth the wait for the locals.

The race around Oamaru harbour was scheduled to take place in November last year as part of the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations.

Bad weather put it off.

The Oamaru Rowing Club versus New Zealand Navy race ran in January instead as part of harbour carnival, an annual festival at Friendly Bay run by a local radio station.
Good crowds were on hand to cheer the local club to victory.
