The Regatta
The Cow Island Classic is Maine's largest regatta.
Maine Coast Rowing Association hosts our annual 4.6km head race on the scenic Androscoggin River in Brunswick, Maine. Each year, the regatta welcomes junior, masters, and collegiate programs to Brunswick across sweep and sculling events.
The Cow Island Classic is a celebration of community and a great way to kick off your fall racing season.
Cow Island
Named for the cows which used to graze on the island, Cow Island is a 58-acre protected area owned by the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust. It now helps support a local population of bald eagles, herons, and hawks as well as serving as a stopover site for many migratory birds.
