Boats Purchased with Gambling Community Benefit Grant

The Club has recently received two new double/pairs with a grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund. The two boats (named Two Up and Perfect Pair) were introduced to the Ross River on February 13th by Paul Hargreaves and Roy Peterson, and Christine Hargreaves and Cathy Peterson. They were pronounced as excellent boats and a great addition to our competitive fleet.

                                              

The Club is extremely grateful for the generous support of the Queensland Government's Gambling Community Benefit Fund, without whose assistance the purchase of these boats (and sculling oars) would not have been possible.

Two Up is a 70kg average boat and Perfect Pair 80kg. Both boats come with both sculling and pair riggers, and are RED boats.
