Welcome to the home page of the Royal St. John's Regatta, scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 at Quidi Vidi Lake in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador.
This historic regatta is the oldest continuing sporting event in North America. The event continues to draw in excess of 50,000 spectators each year and is a major focal point of summer activities in the St. John's area.
Please note: In addition to this website, a great deal of information on the History of the Royal St. John's Regatta may be found by visiting the Government of Canada's Collections Canada website entitled "The History of the Royal St. John's Regatta Project". Click here to visit that site.
The 2007 Regatta will be one for the record books: for the crews; for the committee and the weather.
The decision to delay the Regatta for one day proved to the best result as pond conditions allowed for TWO course records to be set by ONE team in ONE day one day.
The Royal St. John's Regatta Committee would like to thank our generous sponsors who help make the annual Regatta possible. In particular, we would like to thank our newest shell sponsors:
