Thank you to our officials, led by Charles Hauss, who has been one of the biggest promoters of coastal rowing in Canada. It was an honour to have him as our Chief Umpire. Charles was joined by Bonnie, Joan and Lesley, from Halifax, who have been coming to the Red Island Regatta since the start. Stephen, Mary-Lynne and Sterling were the officials from PEI, along with John Easton from Ontario. Thanks to you all.
Steve Robertson was an amazing support, introducing us to the Crew Timer app, giving us real time results on Saturday and Sunday. It was amazing. Many are calling it a game changer for regattas!! Steve joined us at the regatta in the middle of his honeymoon. Thanks to Athena for letting him be part of our event! Congratulations!!
Thanks to PEI Ground Search and Rescue for joining us again. Your presence is always much appreciated.
Thank you also to the Phil, Lynda and Eliza from the PEI Photography Club for joining us this year. Their photos are AMAZING! We are very grateful.

Our coastal boats are made especially for the wind and wave conditions on the Harbour. We row out of the Charlottetown Yacht Club from May to October.
Intro to Rowing is your entry point to the wonderful sport of rowing! Whether you’re looking for a low impact, full body workout, a way to get out on the water, a chance to meet some great people or a combination, it all starts here.
No experience with water sports is needed and it is a great substitute for exercise after being in the gym all winter.
