Two women’s coxed quads from the Victoria City Rowing Club battle each other on Saturday in the B Division Final. (Al Wilhelm)
With white tents, speakers announcing race results, and some 400 international competitors, last weekend’s World Rowing Coastal Championships were hard to miss in Sidney. However, photographers Al Wilhelm, Shannon Wilhelm, and photographers from World Rowing (FISA) had an on-water view of the action. Take a look, and check out our past coverage below.
Two women’s coxed quads from the Victoria City Rowing Club battle each other on Saturday in the B Division Final. Interestingly, the quads were coxed by a mother-daughter pair, meaning that they were racing each other toward the finish.
