The Redneck Regatta will have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, place prizes in three categories.

Participants should check in with Lovey’s by 11am on the day of the competition for updates, possible changes on the start times, and prizes to be given out for placing.

THE START: No boat shall interfere with the timely start of any other boat. A passing boat over- taking another boat has the right of way. Failure to follow any rules, laws etc., will be assessed with time delays or removal from the event. Good sportsmanship must prevail!

TIMING: Boats will be timed over the course. Official times and winners will be reported around 7:00pm at the Lovey’s Landing Beer Garden

FINISH LINE: Will be an imaginary line from the front Lovey’s dock extending across to the opposite side of the river, perpendicular to the bank.

POST RACE: After crossing the finish line pull up and tie off along open dock areas. Judges will be on dock to view best boat and best crew.
