Message from the 2023 Regatta Chair
We are excited to welcome you to the 51st Annual Brentwood International Regatta, an event that brings Brentwood’s stunning oceanfront campus to life. The Brentwood Regatta is rich in tradition with 51 years of racing and comradery.
The Brentwood Regatta started with humble beginnings over 50 years ago and continues to grow exponentially each year as a result of the hard work and dedication put in by the entire Brentwood community. We are delighted to welcome over 15 international clubs this year. The regatta is a true embodiment of Brentwood’s culture of care, where the students, faculty, staff and local community come together to create an unforgettable experience for athletes and fans around the world. This event is not merely an athletics event, but a culmination of the Brentwood culture of grit and joy.
We look forward to opening our gates and invite you to share with us the celebration that is the Brentwood Regatta.

Welcome to the 51st Brentwood Regatta
We are delighted to welcome you to the 51st 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 2022. From our Grade 10 Entre Booths on Campbell Common 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 2023 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!
