The Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta is the final regatta of the season. One never knows quite what to expect: rowers have competed in slush and snow, in rain, and under sunny skies. If in one year, rowers wear long underwear and pogies, they are likely in the next to row in t-shirts.

This regatta stands for the selfless dedication of the true oarsman, one who held the true spirit of competition as a healthy, integral part of life.
