The one and only Short Ships Regatta is back — September 30th!
Join us for a different kind of race, where people-powered boats, floats and watercraft are invited to participate in this rowing-only course through Rockland Harbor.
Skiffs, outrigger canoes, kayaks, dories, and stand-up paddle boards are are welcome—if it floats and you can row it, you’re in. Please note: vessels must be less than 100 feet in length 😉
This event is FREE, but pre-registration is highly encouraged! 🚣🙌
