A History Of The Henley Regatta
The Regatta holds a unique position in the arena of rowing as it was instituted well before any rowing federations were created. Due to the event having its own rules it is not subject to those laid out by the Amateur Rowing Association. It is a very social event with many quality Henley Regatta hospitality services in operation.
The Regatta operates a knock-out draw with only 2 boats in each heat. This is in contrast the to the multi-lane international regattas. This involved organising up to a hundred races on a number of the 5 days. races are started at 5 minute intervals so that the competition is completed by a reasonable time.
The length of the Course is 1 mile 550 yards, which is 112 metres longer than the standard international distance of 2,000 metres. For much of the day there are 2 races going on at once as it takes around 7 minutes to complete each. The event ends with the Finals which are rowed on the last day, after the number of competitors are cut down successively on the previous days.
There are 19 events in total: 6 classes of race for Eights, 5 for Fours (3 coxless and 2 coxed), 4 for Quadruple Sculls, and races for Coxless Pairs and Double Sculls. Additionally the event holds single sculling runs for both women and men. 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. Quadruple Sculls for both men and women were introduced in 2001 after an open event for Women’s Eights began in 2000.
Crews from around the world hed to Henley each year from countries including the Netherlands, Croatia and the Ukraine. Ninety eight race crews were from overseas last year. This year is set to be the best event yet with higher quality crews competing and a more diverse entry field. There will be plenty of corporate entertainment and things to see and do for all ages.
