The two championship races at the Royal St. John’s Regatta this year resemble last year with both resulting in back-to-back wins.
Capital Home Hardware led from start to finish in the men’s race while Volkswagen St. John’s won the women’s title.
It was breezy at times, less so at others, but it was sunny and warm and there were people aplenty everywhere.

It’s not clear if low water levels may have contributed to the problem.
