Seattle Henley Regatta

Sunday March 22, 2009

2009 marks the 1st running of the Seattle Henley Regatta, sponsored by Lake Union Crew.

Seattle Henley is a new race format in the Northwest, involving a time-trial over a 1,000 meter course. Upon conclusion of the race, while still on the water, racers will learn which two boats in the event had the fastest times. Those two boats will return to the start line and race in a Henley duel - the first to the finish line is the winner!

Racing takes place in the north reach of Lake Union. The start line is just south of Ivar's Restaurant, near the Skansonia. The straight 1,000 meter course ends at Gas Works Park, right in front of the racers' families and friends!

All the details about categories race progression are in the

General Info packet and at Regatta Central. The course map is pictured below.

T-Shirts with the official Seattle Henley Regatta logo, pictured above, will be available at regatta headquarters at Gas Works Park on race day. Northwest Designs Ink will be onsite to customize shirts according to style preference, team or rower's name, and more! Be sure to get yours just the way you want it!
