J.B. SHARP MEMORIAL REGATTA SERIES 2021 PROGRAM AND RULES

The J.B. Sharp regatta series is conducted during the winter months and although originally only open to the "bay clubs" from within Iron Cove, is now open to all clubs (schools may compete but are not eligible to score series points). It retains its original objective of measuring the all round rowing strength of the clubs - no premium is placed on senior rowing nor on the comparative numerical strength of each club.

THE 2O21 REGATTA SERIES IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY BMG AVIATION a Gallagher company.
