00:03 I'm Henry, and I'm the strike seed.
00:10 I'm Paddy, and I'm the free seed.
00:12 I'm Angus, and I'm the two seed.
00:15 I'm Ned, and I'm the bow seed.
00:16 Jarvis and Cox Wayne.
00:18 We've got two returners, one year 11 coming up
00:25 from the 10 ones, and then one year 12
00:28 who's come over from the open twos from last year.
00:31 So three year 12s, one year 11s, so a pretty fairly senior crew.
00:36 Last year it was half and half, year 12s, year 11s.
00:40 So hopefully that seniority is coming through
00:42 in a little bit more mature racing and more reliable
00:47 performances, I'd say.
00:48 They've had moments of some really good speed
00:51 and hitting training speeds.
00:53 College are proving to be a sticky opposition again.
00:58 We've been hot on our heels most of the season,
01:01 and we're just hoping to squeak out a win on the day.
01:06 I would reasonably ready.
01:08 We're still trying a few different things
01:10 with the boat set up to try and eke out a little bit of speed,
01:13 kind of leaving no stone unturned.
01:16 So this final-- this is kind of our final week of work
01:19 where we'll be trying a few different things
01:21 with the time pieces and seeing if we can eke out--
01:25 going up Wendaree-Bellart Regatta,
01:27 we have 3 and 1/2 seconds to make up on the college.
01:30 So we're hoping that a few fine-tuning adjustments
01:33 will close that gap.
01:35 And then next week, we'll be just resting up,
01:37 making the taper, and coming onto a race day
01:40 that freshest it'll ever be.
