Two Seasons. One Boat.

From the fall head races to spring sprint championships, Charleston Crew travels a full regatta calendar across the Southeast and beyond.

Fall Season

Head races on the calendar include the Head of the Charles, Head of HOOCH, Lake Lanier Head Race, Head of Tennessee, First Coast Head Race, Head of the South, and Head of Cape Fear. Long miles, technical lines, and river miles under oar.
