2013 NZ Masters Championships


21 - 22 September
Lake Ruataniwha


Two cool, cloudy and - most important - still days made for near perfect conditions at Lake Ruataniwha for the 2013 Masters Nationals. Union's men's and women's masters benefitted hugely from Jim Little's expert coaching and his on and off the water training programme. Of the 42 clubs competing, Union featured as one of the most successful.
