Rocketts Landing Sprints

  • Hosted By: Virginia Boat Club
  • 2016 Registered Regatta

Welcome to the Seventh Annual Rocketts Landing Sprints, hosted by the Virginia Boat Club, in Richmond, Virginia on the James River at the club's downtown boathouse. 

This regatta is a straight course and the waters on the James River are usually calm.  We encourage clubs to bring their novice rowers and enjoy a fun day and enjoy a picnic sponsored by teh VBC after racing. 

We are in our newly renovated boat house and the Boathouse Restaurant (directly above the boathouse) provides fabulous views of the river while dining.
