Head Of The Charles Regatta 2018 HOCR Program | Page 8
WELCOME/ CONTINUED
for two days of competitive rowing
on the same three-mile course that
was first raced in 1965. The regatta
now attracts over 11,000 athletes
and 300,000 spectators from our
home city of Boston and around the
world. Our athletes range in age and
experience, from high school to senior
veterans who are still actively rowing
well into their 80s, and represent over
800 clubs and universities.
In addition to sponsoring the
regatta, we are proud to award the
BNY Mellon College Championship
Trophies to the winning collegiate
teams in the Men’s and Women’s
Championship Eight divisions. Last
year, the winners were the University
of California men and the University
of Washington women. Good luck to
all the crews as they cover the course
at full speed!
Importantly, we would like to
express our deep gratitude to Race
Directors Nick Lloyd and Courtney
Wilson, as well as the rest of the Race
Committee and the Race Operations
Group for their year-long planning
to ensure the Regatta’s success.
Thank you also to the Department
of Conservation and Recreation and
the Board of Directors of the Regatta
for their continued leadership and
support.
We also wish to recognize the
nearly 2,000 volunteers who donate
their time and energy on Regatta
weekend. We also thank Brooks
Brothers for their generosity in
providing the highly sought-after vol-
unteer premiums that have become
a part of the fabric of our weekend.
Finally, we would like to extend our
appreciation to the Board of Directors
of the Cambridge Boat Club, the host
club of the Regatta.
In closing, we wish to thank the
rowing community at large for its
enthusiastic support of the event. It
is the competitors who travel from
around the U.S. and the globe who
truly infuse the Regatta with its spirit
and energy. Good luck in racing and
safe travels to your home waters.
Good luck to all of our rowers,
