Plans for this year
Our planning for the 2026 regatta re well underway as at early June. It is likely we run a simialr comptetion as in 2025, so refer to the page for that year for an idea of what will be hapening
In 2025 our very enjoyable regatta took place in perfect conditions. It may even have been as warm as at Rutherford Head the previous November ( it was like midsummer despite being in November). Last year we had two divisions of regular side by side racng, with the event attracting most entrants being the Op J15 1x.
In so-called Division 3 (also called the Captain's Regatta) we had informal racing in scratch eights and stable quads - very fiecely fought! Same again this year

Divs 1 & 2 - conventional regatta format
Divisions 1 and 2 will be in conventional regatta format, but with a number of mixed events. Start times of divisions likey to be 10:00 for Div 1 and 12:45 for Div 2.
We will race in two lanes only (no three lane races this year) over about 700 metres, rowing upstream and finishing at or just upstream of Tyne ARC steps. All crews will boat from TARC except for those entered by TURC, who use their own steps.
Div 3 - Captain's Regatta
Division 3 (to be labelled Tyne ARC Captain's Regatta on the poster) will run from about 15:30 and consisted of knock-out races for eights and stable quads, with crews drawn on the day from TARC members plus interested competitors who had raced in Divs 1 and 2. These races were not on BROE and ran under Tyne ARC's own insurace, etc. So no BROE points!
Entries and draw
Entries to the main regatta will be by BROE only and will open shortly (by mid June).

Tides
