The JB Sharp Memorial Regatta Series returns for 2025

Published Tue 20 May 2025

We are delighted to announce that the 101st JB Sharp Memorial Regatta Series will be returning in 2025. Founded in 1924, the J.B. Sharp Regatta Series is conducted during the winter months and although originally only open to the "bay clubs," is now open to all NSW clubs (schools may compete for the Schoolboy & Schoolgirl point scores). The Series retains its original objective of a focus on introducing beginners to the sport of rowing and rewarding clubs with junior development programs - no premium is placed on senior rowing nor on the comparative numerical strength of each club. 

For 2025, the Series will consist of regattas on the following dates:

Sunday 6 July - hosted by Balmain Rowing Club

Sunday 20 July - hosted by Drummoyne Rowing Club

Saturday 9 August - hosted by UTS Haberfield Rowing Club

Sunday 24 August - hosted by Glebe Rowing Club

Saturday 6 September - hosted by Leichhardt Rowing Club
