Away regattas are those that are not held on the Occoquan and that require team transportation and boat transportation. Potomac Crew typically participates in two or three away regattas each season: Mathews Regatta in Mathews, VA, is a day trip. It is usually held the first Saturday in May. The team and chaperones are transported by school bus. The Stotesbury Cup Regatta in Philadelphia, PA, is the highlight of the Crew Season for the upper boats. The team and chaperones are transported by charter bus. We leave Potomac mid-day on Thursday and return on Saturday evening. “Nationals” is the championship regatta for our area. Boats must qualify for entry during the season. The team and chaperones are transported by charter bus. We leave Potomac mid-day on Thursday and return on Saturday evening.
