Welcome to the esteemed 52nd Brentwood International Regatta! It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we extend our warmest greetings to all who join us for this remarkable event.
Over five decades ago, the Brentwood Regatta set sail with a vision of fostering excellence in rowing and nurturing camaraderie among athletes from around the globe. Today, we stand proud as stewards of tradition, innovation, and sporting excellence.
This year, we are thrilled to host esteemed clubs and athletes from across the world, uniting in the spirit of competition and sportsmanship. As we gather on Brentwood's picturesque oceanfront campus, we celebrate not only the athleticism displayed on the water but also the enduring bonds forged within our community.
The Brentwood International Regatta stands as a witness to the dedication and passion of our entire Brentwood Family. It is a testament to the countless hours of training, the unwavering support of coaches and mentors, and the collective spirit that defines us.
I am honoured to witness the culmination of months of preparation and dedication. Together, we embark on a journey filled with excitement, determination, and the shared pursuit of excellence. We invite you to immerse yourselves in the vibrant tapestry of the Brentwood Regatta, where the thrill of competition meets the beauty of tradition. From the first stroke to the final victory, may this event be a demonstration of the power of sportsmanship, teamwork, and perseverance.
On behalf of the entire Brentwood community, I extend my sincerest welcome to each and every one of you. Let us come together, united by our love for the sport and the camaraderie it inspires.
Here's to a memorable and successful 52nd Brentwood International Regatta!
Warm regards,
Spencer Manton
Regatta Chair
Welcome to the 52nd Brentwood Regatta
We are delighted to welcome you to the 52nd Brentwood Regatta. This showcase of the finest high school rowers in the Pacific Northwest remains anchored in its traditional place in the calendar—the last weekend in April!
For students and staff at Brentwood, the build-up for this event started almost a year ago—in May of 2023. From our Grade 10-12 Entre Booths on Campbell Commons, to piloting umpire boats, to boat-holding at the 100-meter starting dock, every detail is stitched together for the nearly 1,500 athletes and coaches to put on the best possible show.
Over the course of these three days, we urge you to soak in every aspect of this special experience that will ripple through the rest of the 2024 regatta season and, if you are lucky, through the remainder of time; for these waters have lifted young students to Olympic glory—who’s next?
De Manu In Manum,
Bud Patel
Head of School
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!
