A rower may compete as a masters rower from the beginning of the year during which he or she turns 27. Masters rowers are then placed in categories A to M, ‘A’ being a crew with an average of 27 years or over, and ‘M’ being an average of 89 years or over. Dependent on the age they turn that year, the masters rower will then compete against others in crews with the same or higher average age in the respective category. The average and minimum age of a crew competing excludes that of the coxswain. WRMR REGULATIONS
