Regatta

A regatta is a competitive event where boats, often sailing yachts or rowing shells, race against each other. These events can be organized locally, nationally, or internationally, involving various types of watercraft. Races are typically held on lakes, rivers, or coastal waters and follow specific rules to ensure fair competition. Besides racing, regattas often include social activities, exhibitions, and celebrations related to boating. They serve as opportunities for sailors and boat enthusiasts to showcase skills, promote maritime sports, and foster community engagement.
