And the atmosphere continued throughout the Regatta Day with lots of jovial challenges exchanged between competing teams.
The Forbes Lachlan Dragons raced in all three categories: men’s, women’s and mixed – with the men’s, combined with Sudu Dragons of Wollongong, racing a beautiful final to take the third place trophy.
The coaches were very happy with all races.
“You all raced extremely well against very stiff competition,” Carmen Stephens said.
The Lachlan Dragons will stay geared up under two inspiring coaches – with a bit of a break over Christmas – in readiness for the Canberra Regatta in January.
Back home on Lake Forbes, many new paddlers have been turning up for a try and loving it.
