Regatta Details

There are additional regatta expenses in addition to registration for the season. Scrimmages we host or travel to are usually around $10 - $20 per person, regattas with official registrations through RegattaCentral tend to be around $100 per rower, and USRowing championship regattas (regionals or nationals) have been in the range of $150-180 per rower. This additional cost covers the entry fees for each race, and the fuel to trailer the boats back and forth. The links provided will show how the cost to enter a boat ranges between events.
