What a regatta programme looks like

02
We agree how the crew will be organised and run through the key manoeuvres before the start.
03
You take part as a member of the crew in a real regatta. Your jobs are matched to your experience and your position on board.
04
What follows the race differs from regatta to regatta and is listed with each individual event.
