Come enjoy a fun-filled afternoon along the
waters of
Laudanum in Rosehaven for a proper Regatta!
August 30th, 1-3 pm SLT, at
Dragonlight Plaza,
Realm of Rosehaven, hosted by Chateau Trikassi.
In addition to the rides, games, food, dancing,
there will
once again be the Anything that Floats but is NOT a Boat contest. Prizes will be awarded for
creativity. Rules are
simple…the craft cannot be a boat
of any kind (ship, submarine, row boat, speedboat, canoe, etc)…but
must be a
homemade thing-a-ma-jig that floats… sailing and steering scripts
are allowed
in order to parade on the water.
It wouldn’t be a Regatta without crew racing! Beginning this year, the
Rosehaven Regatta
will feature the Race for the Golden Oars!
Teams from around the Steamlands are invited to
enter. Each 2-person team
will have the chance to
compete for the coveted Golden Oars Trophy.
This trophy will be awarded to the winning team. The trophy
will remain
for display at the winning team’s region for one year. The trophy will move to the
next winner’s
region the following year, and so on.
The trophy will be engraved each year with the winning team
name. This will be much
like the America’s Cup.
Each team is comprised of two people (team must
be from same
region). Should a
community or estate
initially sign up with several teams, heat races will be held
during the week
of August 24th through 28th, to determine
their one team
competing at the Regatta. Scull boats will be available for
practice at
Dragonlight Plaza in Laudanum, Rosehaven, beginning August 21st. Please sign up via Vic
Mornington or Lady
Oriella Charik by no later than Sunday, August 24th. No last-minute teams will be
allowed. It is highly
recommended all teams practice
with the scull boats. The
boats have a
synchronized rowing anim…so you and your teammate need to work
together to
control the boat.
Countess Cassie Eldemar has made the Golden
Oars trophy, and
it’s QUITE impressive! Rora Stytwytch, from RFL ACTS team, is
making each
official team special racing shirts for the rowers. If enough crew teams sign up,
there will be a
special pre-Regatta dinner held at Flock and Feather Tavern in
Reverie,
Rosehaven for the competing teams and their supporters on August
29th. Plan on
some good-natured taunting and
possibly a food fight!
Doctor Holocluck Henly will provide wonderful
music for the
day.
Mark your calendars!
See you all at the Regatta!
