About the Regatta

The 2011 Inter-Company Regatta, sponsored by GDF SUEZ E&P Ltd, took place on Saturday 25th June 2011. Visit the Photo Gallery to see all the pictures from the day.

The Regatta is a fun-filled, day-long event and is a great experience for competitors and their supporting friends, family and colleagues.

The event typically starts at 10am with a round-robin stage in which each crew will have a minimum of three races each. Crews race over a 500 metre course which finishes at Aberdeen Boat Club and takes around three minutes.

Successful crews then move on to the knock-out stages, potentially racing another four times before picking up the winners’ trophy for their company at the official prize giving. A full programme will be published closer to the event listing all the crews and races.

Extensive snack, BBQ and bar facilities are available throughout the day and full race commentary is provided to keep spectators up to speed with the race results. The Regatta typically finishes around 6pm - when the party begins!

Remember with prizes for Best Dressed, Best Supported and Best Named crew it’s not all about winning! Fancy dress and themed crew names are enthusiastically encouraged as is a visible and vocal supporting cast! There is also an ‘ergo challenge’ open to competitors and spectators to see who is fastest and fittest on a rowing machine!
