Introduction


A regatta is a boat race or series of boat races. This can include both powered and unpowered craft. The term regatta may describe either a rowing race or sailing race, however it is not usually used to describe a race between powerboats. The term is also used to describe the festivities that occur during the lead up to the races, often a large social event for the town in which the regatta takes place.

Typically regattas are amateur competitions. They may be organized as championships for a particular area or type of boat, but are most often held for the joy of competition and camaraderie alone. Regattas may be hosted by a Yacht club, sailing association, town or school as in the case of Inter-Scholastic Sailing Association (high school) regattas or Intercollegiate Sailing Association (college) regattas.
