Sculling and sweep events for youth, adults and adaptive rowers, all in costume. The largest single-day rowing event in the world. For best viewing, take the Red Line to Harvard Square. Dedham to Herter Park, Brighton. Races for novice to professional, individuals and teams in varying lengths from six miles to twenty four.
Boats jockey for position at the start, trying to cross the starting line when the whistle is blown.
Whistles also signal penalty. Lower Basin, between Longfellow and Mass. Ave. Single-handed regatta in Cape Cod Mercury's with 1 or 2 sail rig. This event pairs kids from the CBI Youth Program with local and national celebrities. Lots of fun and BBQ to follow.
