REGATTAS ARE ALL DAY, outdoor affairs with many races in several categories. This is not something where your rower turns up a few minutes before his/her event and goes home. Because of the considerable equipment involved in crew, it takes all rowers to unload and load and rig the boats in the morning, and then de-rig and load in the afternoon. All rowers arrive as a team, and stay for all races. Parents set up and take down tents and help with many other things that are needed during the day.

REGATTA SNACKS, will be provided for ROWERS ONLY, as part of their membership fee. Parents and other guests must bring or provide food for themselves and other children. Many regattas have on site food vendors.
