This special evening brings the Masters community together in an intimate setting to celebrate not only sporting excellence, but the lasting impact of those who continue to shape rowing beyond competition.
After a memorable Networking Dinner in Banyoles last year, we come together again — this time in Bled — with Iztok Cop and Eric Murray, both Thomas Keller Medal recipients, sharing personal stories from life on and off the water.

We’re happy to see the Masters Trophy presented by Euro Masters Regatta using the World Rowing Handicap Calculator to create fair competition between crews from different age categories.

It’s great to see this premium Masters rowing experience on the Rotsee bringing athletes together in a format that allows everyone to race on the same course under the same conditions, while fairly accounting for age differences between crews.

These are the last days to enter!

Looking forward to seeing the racing in Lucerne.

2026 South American Masters Regatta 🇵🇾

South American Row Masters met in Asunción, Paraguay, from 9–12 April 2026 – and as expected, it was one of the largest Masters regattas in South America, with around 600 participants from 10 countries.
