Rock The Boat

So the John Waugh Rock the Boat Regatta has a very interesting format where everyone enters 1 event regardless of their age, gender or boat class and the winner is determined by the crew that rows closest to their respective Rock the Boat time which is a time adjusted off that classes world record. (Eg. If you race in the Men's Eight the world record is 5.18 so the Rock the boat time for each age group is predicted off this time.)
Results:
1st: RMB National Team Lightweight Women's 2x, Kirsten McCann & Nicole van Wyk.
2nd: RMB National Team, Heavyweight Mens 4-, Kyle Schoonbee, David Hunt, John Smith, Sandro Torrente.
3rd: St Albans, u19 1x, Liam Smit.
