Compare crews in different boats and grades on one scale. You can also convert a time from one championship event to another.
NZ Masters gold times, with conditions removed, against World Rowing's masters handicap model, as a percentage slower than the youngest category raced in that boat. "All boats" pools every boat class. Where the solid line sits below the dashed one, NZ crews in that category are relatively faster than the handicap expects.
Raw times jump around with the weather. Switch on the adjustment to see each final as it would have been on an average day.
The hollow dot is the raw year-to-year spread of gold times (coefficient of variation). The solid dot is the spread left after removing the day's conditions, which reflects how much winning quality varies. A long bar means conditions are most of the story for that event.
Depth is the gap from gold to 6th place in the A‑final, as a percentage of the winning time. A small gap means a deep field. Closeness is the gold-to-silver margin in seconds.
Number of A‑finals by winning margin, 2007–2026.
The model's estimate of each race day's speed relative to an average championship day. Positive values mean slower times. Wind is the hourly 10 m reading from the ERA5 reanalysis (Open‑Meteo), averaged over each day's finals.
