On Friday April 30, hundreds of people from the Stony Brook University community flocked to Roth Quad to uphold a 21-year-old tradition, Roth Pond Regatta.
Usually towards the end of the academic year, Roth Regatta allows contestants to indulge in some friendly competition and promote student “unity and ingenuity,” as teams race homemade cardboard boats across Roth pond.
The races are broken down into two categories; speedsters and yachts. Speedsters qualify as one-person boats, while yachts include two, three and four person teams, each captain must pilot the boat at the Regatta.
As with most events at SBU, the Regatta is highly structured. “The Constitution of the Roth Pond Regatta,” is composed of eleven sections that lay the foundation of the event.
Only students, staff, alumni, faculty and previous contestants are eligible to compete. Identification is required, and each team must register their boats with the student activites department.
