The Annual Head of the Charles Regatta sponsored by the

Cambridge Boat Club is patterned after the many English

Head of The River races It makes use of tortuous course which not only puts the coxswains steering to test but allows

greater distances to challenge the oarsmens endurance Head races also allow many more boats to compete by eliminating the need for qualifying roces before the final event

events are started 15 to 20 minutes apart Thus there is race on the course at all times during the afternoon

SPECTATORS .. the best place to watch the Regatta is at the finish line where the progress of each event on the river and the unofficial order of finish will be announced by loud

speakers For spectators farther down the course regatta information will be broadcast over WCAS Radio 740 AM

The program advertisers and friends of the regatta in Cambridge and the greater Boston community have made this Regatta possible
