Thirty six BIAC members traveled to West Sacramento to complete at the annual Head of the Port Regatta.  The regatta is a mainstay in BIAC’s fall racing calendar and serves as a tune up for crews getting ready to race at the Head of the Charles Regatta.  The regatta also serves as a great event for those just looking for their first rowing event and to challenge themselves with their teammates.
