Category definitions

When competing, crews race in age categories which are calculated by adding the age each crew member will achieve by 31 December and dividing the total by the number of seats in the boat. For example, a quad crew aged 45, 61, 49 and 55 has an average age of 52.5 and would race in Category D. In other words, the average age of a crew is used to calculate which category (A-I) the crew is eligible to compete in.

  • (A) Age 27 to 35

  • (B) Age 36 to 42

  • (C) Age 43 to 49

  • (D) Age 50 to 54

  • (E) Age 55 to 59

  • (F) Age 60 to 64

  • (G) Age 65 to 69

  • (H) Age 70 to 74

  • (I) Age 75 to Up

I recently undertook the BRCs learn to row programme and now regularly row several times a week with club members in quads and eights. The program is an exceptional introduction to the sport instilling confidence and fundamental skills in novice rowers, allowing them to gain hands-on experience and guidance from seasoned rowers. Over the weeks of the course, we developed rowing technique and learned the intricacies of teamwork and synchronization. The supportive environment and camaraderie on the Brisbane River fostered a sense of accomplishment and confidence, empowering novices to continue their rowing journey with a solid foundation and a newfound passion for the sport.
