Henley Royal
Regatta is a
rowing event held
every year on the river
Thames by the
town of
Henley-on-Thames,
England. It lasts
for 5 days (Wednesday to Sunday) over the first weekend in
July. Races are
head-to-head knock out competitions, raced over a course of 1 mile, 550
yards (2,112 m). The regatta regularly attracts international crews to
race. The most prestigious event at the regatta is the Grand Challenge
Cu p for Men's Eights, which has been awarded since the regatta was first
staged.
As the regatta
pre-dates any national or international rowing organisation, it has its
own rules and organisation, although it is recognised by both the
Amateur Rowing Association
(the governing body of rowing in England and Wales) and
FISA (the
International Rowing Federation). The regatta is organised by the
Stewards, who are largely former rowers themselves.
The regatta was
first staged in
1839 and proved
so successful that it was expanded the next year from one day to two the
next year. Further expansion to three days in the late
19th century, 4
days in
1906 and five
days in
1986 are proof of
the regatta's importance.
The regatta has
been known as Henley Royal Regatta since
1851, when
Prince Albert
became the first royal patron. Since his death, every reigning monarch
has agreed to be the patron.
The regatta was
for male rowers only until
1993 (women had
been permitted to cox for some time), when women's single sculls were
introduced. Since then women's eights and women's quadruple sculls have
also been added. Dueto the increasing number of women rowing in
Britain,
Henley Women's Regatta
was formed in
1988
although the subsequent inclusion of elite-level
events at Henley Royal has reduced participation in
the top events at Henley Women's somewhat. Henley
Women's takes place 3 weeks before Henley Royal |
