Know Before You Go

Regatta season: Rowing courses host scholastic, collegiate, and master regattas spring through fall. Most venues are otherwise quiet training waters used by local clubs.
Race format: Sprint regattas run 2,000m for international/collegiate, 1,500m for high school. Heats and finals occupy a full day with crews launching every 4-6 minutes.
Spectator basics: Bring sunscreen and binoculars — most courses are wide and crews are far from the grandstand. The finish line is the only place to feel the speed up close.
