Students' Traditional Rowing Contest, 30-Apr-2000/01/04/09/11/12

2000
The spectators start to assemble on the banks	Flag and colorful student uniforms	The loud speakers	Waiting for the contest to start	The highly trimmed competition equipment
The emblem of the University of Vaasa student core	Spectators	Colorful paraphernalia is an important part of the fun	Rearing to go!	Identifying oneself and one's fraternity
Keenly observing the proceedings	Rowing under the watchful eye of the merry crowd	Really putting one's back to it	Lost a bit of the sense of direction, somewhere?	Empty bottles retrieval
A close kick finish crowns the heat	Balloons on the market square the next day

2001
The merry crowd starting to gather	An escaped balloon	Not forgetting the paraphernalia this year either	Waiting for the contest to get under way	University of Vaasa students
Sheltering from gale force winds	Going out to set the target bayou	The turning point	Getting ready	... go!
Taking the lead	Turning at half-point	Education has not been wasted. Students are inventive.	At the finish	My own bike  in the festive spirit

2004
And the band kept playing	Lauri Järvinen	Banderole (pardon the pun)	Safeguard	Law and order
Getting ready	Plenty precautions	A young collector of empty bottles	Almost there	Splashing away
Slightly off course	Also the university personnel taking it easy	Vaasa court of appeals

2009
Dive in	The sunny weather	It was the days of the pig flu	In the festive mood	Perparing for the rowing contest
Law and Order	An advance team	The heavy acceleration	Far out!	Rowing is not that simple after all
