Hopes were high for the CBHS contingent after a strong showing at the recent South Island Secondary Schools, and while many of the crews finished just outside podium placings the school had 11 crews competing in A finals at the end of the regatta. An A final is recognition for a top eight finish in the event rowed in.

A finals – U17 coxed eight, U18 coxed quad sculls, U16 coxed four, U18 novice coxed eight, U15 coxed eight, U18 coxed four, U18 novice coxed four, U16 coxed eight, U15 coxed four (two crews), U18 coxed eight (Maadi Cup)

The school came away with three silver medals from the regatta – U15 coxed four and U15 coxed eight, and the U16 coxed eight.
