Event Details
This biennial event is slated to take place again on August 17 & 18th, 2019 much to the delight of boating enthusiasts. The Rideau Ferry Vintage Race Boat Regatta dates back to 1909 when the first event was held at Rideau Ferry in Drummond North Elmsley Township (133 Yacht Club Rd Rideau Ferry ON K0G 1W0 ). Watch in awe as speeds of well over 100 miles per hour are reached! Vintage race boat regattas are a fast-growing boating event within boating associations. Several famous crafts were on hand at the 2013 event including the Miss Canada IV which made history at Picton Ontario in 1949 by exceeding 220 mph and organizers anticipate its return. Spectators can also swim at the beautiful beach tour the site and see numerous displays including nautical antiques and boat parts and various activities for children and adults alike. Meet the racers too! Entry fee for the Regatta is $5.00/person/day – 12 and under are free.
