Head of the Charles Regatta A beautiful fall day and the promise of exciting races drew alumni to the Kent tent at the Head of the Charles Regatta on October 19 and 20. Racing under the Kent banner, alumnae from the classes of 1989 to 2013 defended last year’s strong finish in the Women’s Alumnae Eight race. On Sunday, current KSBC rowers competed in the Junior Men’s and Women’s Four events. Throughout the weekend, dozens of alumni raced for their colleges and clubs in just about every event offered: from senior veterans singles and father-daughter doubles, to collegiate fours and championship eights. It was great to see so many alumni and their families at the tent, cheering on the Kent crews. Thank you to everyone who brought food to share and helped throughout the weekend.
