Stony Brook University 2023 Roth Regatta

Stony Brook University hosted the 34th annual Roth Regatta on April 28, 2023, drawing an estimated 5,000 students and community members to the shores of Roth Pond.

A Stony Brook University tradition introduced in 1989, the Roth Regatta takes place annually on the last Friday of April. Teams representing clubs, organizations and administrative offices raced across the 200-yard Roth Pond in homemade cardboard boats constructed of only cardboard, duct tape, spray paint and string.

Boats sailed under the theme, “Fairytale: This is Our Swamp,” and competed in speed competitions for the Speedster (two-person) and Yacht (four-person) categories.
