Inverness Rowing Club is holding the HAWCO SPRINT REGATTA on Saturday the 17th
August. This year's event is again being supported by Hawco V W
Inverness.
The event is being held on the Caledonian Canal over a 500 metre course close
to the Boathouse. The event is very popular and this year has attracted many
crews from the central belt, Aberdeen and Dumfries as well as from the home
club. A full race programme which includes junior, senior and veteran events,
is due to start shortly after at 10 am and be completed just after 4.30pm.
Spectators are welcome to come and witness the tremendous spectacle of top
Scottish crews racing on a length of water which is acknowledged by many as
the best in Scotland for rowing. The Boathouse is located two hundred metres
beyond the Jacobite Cruises Office on the Torvean golf course side of the
canal. B)
