2022 Regatta Information

    Regatta is the term used for boat racing events. These are usually one or two-day events. Many volunteers and hours of preparation are required to organize and run a successful regatta. Parents are welcome and strongly encouraged to volunteer at these events – you will learn more about the sport and help run the regattas that the athletes train so hard for!
