Regattas

Here are the regattas for the 2020 season:

Inlet Spring Regatta (Port Moody) - April 18
False Creek Women's Regatta - May 23
Nanaimo Regatta - July 11,12
Harrison Regatta - July 25
Kamloops Regatta - August 8
Penticton Regatta - September 12, 13




Our expectation is that you attend all regattas that you are able - at  least 3 home and 1 away regatta. You're welcome to attend all of the regattas if you can (we encourage it since they are so fun!) You must pay your travel expenses for each regatta, but we try to keep costs down by arranging car pools and sharing rooms. We also attend a team dinner together at the away regattas and compete in the costume and dance contests. Winning races is our goal, but we enjoy being part of a team, too!

What to bring to a regatta?
1. Chair
2. Water bottle
3. Team Shirt (we'll give this to you or you can order your own)
4. Paddle and PFD (the team will provide you with these if needed)
6. Sunscreen
7. Book to read
8. Towel
9. Food to share
10. Your favourite beverages
