From the Doughty family – a Waitemata crew winning at Karapiro.
Year not known.
The technique and crew timing look good. Perhaps we can get comment from the ‘Doughty Clan’??

Dominique dominated the final of the Women’s Senior single with an emphatic last 500m that saw her completely out pace the field to record a splendid victory.
WELL DONE DOM!!!!!!
North Shore Regatta – RESULTS December 4, 2008
Posted by Brian in Club events, Regatta Results.add a comment
The regatta at Lake Pupuke last Saturday was held in sunny weather with light winds until mid-afternoon.
Kyle and Dom raced in the first event of the day – the Women’s Open Double.
They placed 3rd and were disappointed that they hit a buoy soon after the start AND when in the lead!!
Our next race saw Dom 1st and Kylie 2nd in the WOpen 1X.
Then Rebecca had us all cheering loudly as she finished a very close 2nd in the WClub 1X. This was an exciting race for Rebecca and showed she is getting to grips with how to manage her effort during a race. Probably getting fitter has helped!!!!!!!
Alison and Alannah finished in 5-6 place in their WClub2X event.
The last race for us was the WU192X and the strong wind made conditions very difficult. This combination needs a lot more work to become competitive.
Next Regatta is at Lake Karapiro on 13-14 December.
KRI Spring Regatta – RESULTS for our crews November 17, 2008
Posted by Brian in Club events, Regatta Results.add a comment
The Spring Regatta was held on Nov 15-16 at Lake Karapiro.
We ‘tented’ at the campground.
RESULTS
WClub 1X A Final Rebecca placed 7th.
WNov 2X A Final Alison, Alannah placed 2nd.
WPrem 1X B Final Dominique placed 1st.
WSen 2X A Final Kylie, Dom placed 2nd.
Rebecca, Alison and Alannah had their lack of fitness exposed and they have resolved to improve!
Dominique was just pipped for a place in the A Final of the Prem single and she blitzed the B Final.
The Kylie, Dom double had a strong race for second in a good field.
This regatta gave us a useful gauge on the state of our preparation for the harder racing to come.
Congratulations to the three girls for their diligence in studying.
Next regatta is at Lake Pupuke on November 29.

Our first 2 Km racing for the season.
Dominique and Kylie competed for their first time as a double in the Sen 2X and Prem 2X and Dominique raced the Premier 1X.
Small fields which lacked some of the younger stars because they had a New Zealand trial week starting today.
RESULTS
Dominique 1st in Prem single. A convincing win against some strong scullers from West End.
Dominique & Kylie led the Sen 2X race by just over a length at the 1 Km mark and then decided to have a collision with the large marker buoy – they were unable to make up the time they lost and came home near the tail of the field.
In the Prem 2X race Kylie & Dom cleared out from the other two boats to win by a distance.
A useful regatta that helped us sort out some wrinkles in technique and race tactics.
We race again next weekend at the 2-day ‘Spring’ regatta at Lake Karapiro. Kylie and Dom willl be joined by Rebecca, Alison and Alannah.
