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,

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!
