Welcome
Update (May 9): Interested in becoming a Coxswain?
Due to the great success of our learn To Row Program, the Regatta Committee will now be implementing a "Learn To Coxswain" Program. Are you a new crew without a coxswain, grab a friend and get them involved - no experience necessary.
If you are interested please inform one of the staff at the Boathouse.
The Program includes (all courses are upstairs in the Boathouse Museum):
1. Coxswain Course (Friday May 11 at 6pm with more dates to be added)
2. Rowing/Coaching Clinic (Saturday Morning - Time TBD - May 26 with more dates to be added)
3. On water training with our Technical Director and Boathouse Staff
Update (May 9): Great News - The Learn To Row Program has been a real success this year. We have a bunch of new crews interested in competing in the oldest sporting event in North America.
We now have a large number of new crews from the Learn to Row program that do not have any help in teaching them to row - more than Brent Payne, our Technical Director, can handle.
The regatta committee is seeking your help to keep the Regatta thriving.
Please contact the Boathouse staff if you are interested in helping - even one evening a week.
It's time to give back to the regatta if you really want to help it grow!
Update(May 1): The Royal St.John’s Regatta Committee is interested in hiring two staff to work at the Boathouse for the summer starting May 14. If you are interested please submit your resume to one of the Boathouse staff or send it to: jcbarrington@nl.rogers.com
The deadline for submission is May 7.
Update (April 29): We are excited to offer a new online registration option for crews! One team member will register for your team. Make sure you have the team members information before you begin to register. Afterwards, if you wish to make any changes to your registration, just inform the Boathouse staff. Head here to register your team.
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.
