Rowing Races & Results

The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta rowing is at the absolute core of our Royal Regatta. The first recorded Regatta held on the River Dart at Dartmouth in 1822 was noted to include a rowing race for six-oared gigs ‘for which Dartmouth is very famous’ – according to the Exeter Flying Post. Rowing was then and still is, fiercely competitive and the highlight of the calendar for many visitors and locals.
