La Régate 1900 is part of the fifteenth edition of the Festival de l'Oh! in Val-de-Marne.
La Régate 1900, organised by the Conseil Général of Val-de-Marne in partnership with
the city of Joinville-le-Pont sponsored by the FPMF, FFA, FFCK, and the FFV, is an
opportunity to recreate the leisure and sports activities of old and to showcase river
boats from bygone days such as rowing boats, skiffs, shell boats, canoes, river sailboats,
etc. and typical costumes worn by oarsmen and sailors. It includes a restoration and
watermanship competition, nautical games, traditional "à virage" races, cruises, parades
(including a full-scale "Venetian e†ravaganza", a night-time parade of lit boats to the
sound of music) and a "Cafouillage" procession set to music. There is also a "boaters˜
village" with exhibits, stands run by museums and associations and a library-cafe.
The participants will compete in "paddle", "oar" and "sail" categories for the "most
beautiful boat" award (presented on land), for the best boatman and/or boatwoman
prize (presented on the water) and for the "Joinville-le-Pont Régate 1900 Jury's Grand
Prize". The 4-rower skiffs will race for the "Skiff Challenge".
