Message from the 2025 Regatta Chair

Welcome to the 53rd Brentwood International Regatta!

It is with great excitement and gratitude that we welcome you back to Brentwood’s shores for another incredible weekend of competition, camaraderie, and celebration.

For over five decades, the Brentwood Regatta has been a gathering place for athletes, coaches, and supporters who share a passion for rowing. What began as a local event has grown into one of North America’s premier high school regattas, bringing together teams from across the continent and beyond. This regatta is more than just a competition—it is a tradition that embodies the spirit of excellence, resilience, and sportsmanship.

As the races unfold against the stunning backdrop of our oceanfront campus, we recognize the dedication of the athletes who have trained tirelessly, the coaches and mentors who have guided them, and the families and volunteers who make this event possible. The Brentwood Regatta is a testament to the strength of our rowing community, and we are honoured to share this experience with you.

Whether this is your first time at Brentwood or you are returning for another chapter in your rowing journey, we hope you embrace the energy, friendships, and fierce but respectful competition that define this regatta. From the first stroke to the final sprint, may this weekend be filled with moments of perseverance, teamwork, and achievement.

On behalf of the entire Brentwood community, welcome to the 53rd Brentwood International Regatta. Let’s make it an unforgettable one!

Warm regards,

Spencer Manton

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!
