This is the fourth annual Head of James Regatta. The Virginia Boat Club traces its roots to the late 19th Century. The modern club was reorganized in 1986. Today, rowing on the James continues with The Virginia Boat Club and a growing number of masters rowers and high school rowers at our other boathouse located at Robious Landing Park in Chesterfield County and Virginia Commonwealth University Crew Club and masters rowers at our Downtown location. Through a cooperative, public/private effort between the County of Chesterfield and the Virginia Boat Club, the Virginia Boat Club manages the Robious Landing Boathouse and dock for the benefit of the rowing community. Currently, the VBC, James River High School, Trinity High School, North Mooreland Crew Club, the University of Richmond, and Virginia Boat Club Masters row from this facility. Robious Landing Park is located at 3800 James River Road (adjacent to James River High School). The VBC is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to amateur rowing.
