Regattas

Asheville Youth Rowing Association participates in races, called regattas, against other high school age rowers all over the southeast. Spring races are called “sprints” and are approximately 2000 meters. Fall races are called “head races” and are approximately 5000 meters. We travel to regattas by carpooling and stay overnight in hotels. Chaperones are provided by volunteer parents. Parents usually attend the regattas as well and we set up a tent with our banner and lots of home cooking.
