Some very close racing is expected and the general public are most welcome to view this free event - the best vantage point being from the sea wall by the Canoe Lake.
If you've ever thought about taking up this sociable and exciting sport, or simply fancy taking in the stunning views across Shanklin Bay then head to the Open Day on 27th April.
Shanklin Sandown Rowing Club sponsored this year by Advanced Automotive entered 10 crews in the two day Newport Regatta which was rowed in three boat races over a 1550 metre course on the Medina river on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July.
