Royal Australia
The Best Guide To The Henley Regatta
Henley will also hold a unique place in the rowing domain as it was in fact instituted a good time before any international rowing federations were established. The Amateur Rowing Association in England does not have any jurisdiction of the event due to the Regatta having its own rules. It is a very social event with many quality Henley hospitality services in operation. In fact Henley is second only to Cheltenham hospitality on the corporate entertainment calendar.
Although international regattas favour the multi-lane race style, Henley adopts a knock-out draw with just two boats competing in every heat. This involved organising up to a hundred races on a number of the 5 days. Each race is started at 300 second intervals to ensure the event comes to completion in time.
2000m is the international standard distance but Henley is in fact 112m longer than that and sits at a mighty 1 mile 550 yards. There are often two races taking place at one time on the river as it takes approximately seven minutes to cover. The volume of races taking place is cut down with each day, leaving just the Finals to be run on the final day of the event.
There are nineteen different race events – six types of race for 8′s, five types of race for 4′s (coxed and coxless), four for Quadruple Sculls, and runs for Coxless Pairs and Double Sculls. Men and women have single sculling events also. 1993 was the first year women competed over the Course in a full Regatta event when a new event for women single scullers was inaugurated. An open event was set up in 2000 for the Lady’s Eights and in 2001 there are new events introduced for Men’s and Women’s Quad Sculls.
Many crews from abroad visit every year including crews from Croatia, Poland and U.S.A. The previous year saw ninety eight crews from overseas. A more diverse entry group and higher quality racing crews will mean this year’s Regatta will be better than ever. There will be plenty of corporate events and things to see and do for all ages.
