Fees associated with competing at Regattas throughout the season are not included in the price upon registration. Due to the varying nature of regatta fees, we bill these fees once your attendance is confirmed and entries are complete. Typical regatta fees include the entry fee, RCA/ RO Seat fees, coach travel fees, etc. Athletes are responsible to cover this additional cost of competing at regattas, and any other expenses they may incur during regattas, like accomodation, gas, food, etc. 

Typical Regatta fees are: 

• One Day Regatta: Boat and Coach Travel Fees approx $30-$50 / Entry fees are race dependent $25 – $100 / 3% Athlete Fund / No accommodations included
• Two Day Regatta: Boat and Coach Travel Fees approx. $50-$75 / Entry Fees are race dependent $50-$150/ 3% Athlete Fund / No accommodations included
• Henley Week: Boat and Coach Travel Fees approx. $60-$100 / Entry Fees are race dependent $50-$250 / 3% Athlete Fund / No accommodations included
• Single boat entries at regattas are the most expensive, crew boat entry fees are divided by all rowers (not coxwain), All events have seat fees and taxes
