We are delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating this significant milestone in the history of rowing in New South Wales. Founded in 1924, the J.B. Sharp Regatta Series is conducted during the winter months and although originally only open to the "bay clubs," is now open to all NSW clubs & schools. The Series retains its original objective of a focus on introducing beginners to the sport of rowing and rewarding clubs with junior development programs - no premium is placed on senior rowing nor on the comparative numerical strength of each club.
