Our members raced superbly at World Cup 2, their first international outing this season with good success in fast conditions.

In the big boats, Paige Barr and Hayley Verbunt won the women's eight, Gus Widdicombe and Jack Robertson were in the silver winning men's eight, behind the dominant British crew and ahead of the Germans, and Kat Werry won bronze in the two seat of the women's four.

However the most dominant display of all Australian crews came in the women's pair, where Jess Morrison along with partner Annabelle McIntyre, won powerfully from start to finish in a superb race. The opposition will be looking for other events.
