Rowers love food. Lobsters, potatoes and ice cream define Prince Edward Island. Our new rowing trip this summer offers rowers what they love in Canada’s littlest province. It is our pleasure to offer you a little pre-trip appetizer with our Taste of PEI Rowing contest.
The Prizes!
First prize is a gift box of PEI culinary treats delivered to your home from Preserve Company. Many yummy Island treats, like a chowder spice mix, wild blueberry & champagne preserve, COW chips, a local pottery mug and much more (value of $75).
PEI is also famous for Anne of Green Gables. Our second prize is a box of Anne chocolates and a hat and pigtails to go with it. You’ll look adorable!
The best prize of course is to row in PEI, so everyone who enters the contest and registers for the trip this summer will receive a Red Island Regatta t-shirt and a tasty PEI treat, presented to you on the Island.

Hi there, not in a rowing club any more as I live inland up in the mountains. I do go rowing in the summer on a lake I found that has single sculls to rent.
Why do I have to be in a club to enter?
Hello. Living in the mountains and rowing on a lake in summer does sound lovely. You do not necessarily have to be a club member to join the group. It is more about how many years of rowing experience that you have. We normally ask for at least two years (or maybe three or so for those living in places that freeze in the winter!). Do you only row single sculls, or have you rowed doubles or quads? We have a validation form during the registration process. You can create an account, and fill that in and send it to us – then I can better assess. In the meantime I will also send you an email with the form attached. Thank you! Ruth
