Regatta Venues
Rowing Venues in the Western Cape
Zeekoei Vlei, Cape Town
Zeekoei vlei is a close surburban venue...
for practicing rowing in the Western Cape. There are regular 500m sprint races in the bay in front of Zeekoe Vlei Yacht Club and a 2000m course down the main part of the vlei is a possibility.
V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
This Cape Town waterfront is a premier...
tourist destination. The Waterfront Regatta showcases rowing in Cape Town. It is a stunning, if busy, venue. Races are short (under 500m) and challenging (tight course) but spectators can get excellent views from many different vantage points.
Eikenhof Dam, Elgin
Eikenhof, near Elgin, is the venue...
of most Western Cape standard regattas. The course is close to 2000m in length. Eikenhof Dam is the home for Stellenbosch University, Elgin Rowing Club and Somerset College.
Misverstand Dam, Moorreesburg
Misverstand Dam provides a fine venue...
for training as well as being the venue for Western Cape boat races. The river is navigable for about 12km upstream from the dam wall, meaning that a boat of around 6.2km is perfectly feasible..
Berg River Dam
An Olympic-size rowing course is one...
of several developments planned for the new R1,5 billion Berg River Dam. Apart from the eighty-lane, 2000 metre Olympic-sized rowing course, and other tourist and recreational facilities are mooted as development options for the Berg River catchment area .
Lake Belvedere, Knysna
Knysna provides a venue for midway...
regattas - midway between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. Two regattas take place annually - the school's regatta and the senior's regatta. The specific location is under review; the existing location provides for a 900m course on Lake Belvedere.
