A great event held on June 3-4, 2023. As stated in the RCA Newsletter:
“A thrilling weekend of rowing at the Western Canadian Beach Sprints Regatta concluded at Colwood Waterfront, with Canadian rowers Julien Bahain, Trish Mara, Aubrey Oldham, and Sarah Pidgen earning the opportunity to represent their country at the 2023 ANOC World Beach Games in Bali, Indonesia from August 5-12. The regatta, hosted by the Open Aviron Rowing Coastal Association (OARCA), showcased a strong field of experienced competitors vying for Worlds selection.”
Many thanks to Chris Frappell for the sequence of photos showing a boat arriving to the beach followed by the run to the finish.
