Ten pictures from the '99 regatta of Lugano-Caslano.

The girls Jeanette Petremand and Karin Belart from Nordiska were rowing together with two girls from Rudergesellschaft Zürich in the quadruple four:

Just left the landing stage.

Warming up.

It was the first time Jeanette was steering a boat in a race, so they had their difficulties...

Also the synchronization was not so good...

...but they were happy and pleased after the race!
From left to right: RGZ, Karin, RGZ, Jeanette.

The boys from Nordiska were first trying the four.
From bow to stroke:
Sjur Vestli, Sebastian Sedvallson, Stephan Haferl, Martin Skrikerud.
It was the first time racing in the four, so the result was not optimal - but good experience...

...for the eights race that came later on. We were rowing together with four guys from RGZ.
This picture shows us (in the red-and-white Stämpfli boat in the front) app. 100 m before the finish line.

Last 10 m to go...

...and finally finished.
The one stretching his arm is Sjur!

We finished second in the Senior A class.
And were very pleased with that...
Later on that evening we walked over to Italy and celebrated our good result with some italian red wine and grappa...
Sundays race was not so successful...
