The San Diego Crew Classic has extended its partnership with RegattaCentral, the leading online solutions provider for the rowing community. For the next five years, RegattaCentral will remain the Official Registrar for the event. For almost 20 years, this partnership has played a crucial role in the evolution of one of the nation’s premier rowing events while meeting the rowing community’s changing needs by offering innovative tools for regattas and their participants.
The origins of the San Diego Crew Classic trace back to the early 1970s when a group of dedicated individuals envisioned a regatta that would not only showcase the athleticism of rowers but also celebrate the beauty of the sport. In 1973, the inaugural Crew Classic took place on Mission Bay, with a handful of collegiate crews participating in what would soon become a hallmark event for the rowing community. Over the years, it has grown to become a premier event that includes masters and youth categories, attracting top crews from across the nation and around the world.
Mark Rose, the President of the San Diego Crew Classic, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership’s renewal, stating, “We at the Crew Classic are excited to continue our long-term partnership with RegattaCentral. Their product, experienced and helpful staff, and commitment to service and support make them a great teammate. We look forward to working together to make the Crew Classic even better.”
Steve Lopez, the founder of RegattaCentral, shares Rose’s excitement for the partnership’s future. “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the prestigious San Diego Crew Classic for another five years,” Steve said. “The Crew Classic is renowned for its excellence in rowing events, consistently setting high standards in numerous aspects. At RegattaCentral, we are thrilled to reaffirm our commitment to delivering the exceptional services and innovative solutions that the Crew Classic has come to depend on, and we are excited to continue working closely with them to achieve this.”
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we eagerly anticipate the future, committed to continuing our shared journey of innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for regattas.
