Message from the 2026 Regatta Committee

Welcome to the 54th Brentwood International Regatta!

We’re thrilled to welcome you back to Brentwood’s shores for another memorable weekend of racing, connection, and celebration.

For more than fifty years, the Brentwood Regatta has brought together athletes, coaches, and supporters who share a love of rowing. What started as a small local event has grown into one of North America’s leading high school regattas, drawing crews from across the continent and beyond. While the competition is fierce, this regatta has always been about more than results, it’s about tradition, commitment, and respect for the sport.

As racing gets underway against the backdrop of our oceanfront campus, we want to acknowledge the hard work behind every start line: the athletes who have put in countless hours on the water, the coaches who guide and challenge them, and the families and volunteers whose support makes this weekend possible. The strength of this event comes from the community that surrounds it, and we’re proud to share it with you.

Whether you’re here for the first time or returning to Brentwood for another year, we hope you take in the atmosphere, the friendships, and the competitive spirit that define this regatta. From the opening races to the final sprints, may the weekend be filled with determination, teamwork, and moments to remember.

On behalf of the entire Brentwood community, welcome to the 54th Brentwood International Regatta. Let’s make it a great one!

Warm regards,

The Regatta Committee

About the Regatta

The regatta started with a joint meet in 1971 between Brentwood College School, Sentinel (West Vancouver), and Lakeside School from Seattle. At that first meet, crews came in on a Sunday morning and the coaches sat down to breakfast in the dining room to compile a race schedule. The whole thing was finished by mid-afternoon.

The event slowly gained in popularity over time. More divisions were included in the schedule and more clubs and schools entered crews, particularly once girls joined Brentwood (the first boarding school in Canada to go co-ed, in 1972) and began forming crews.

In addition to Pacific Northwest crews, we’ve had clubs participate from as far away as Eastern Canada, the Eastern USA, England, Germany, Australia, Spain, and Mexico.

Long may it continue!
