What are rowing competitions called?

[Edit]

Answer

Rowing competitions are called regattas.

Answer

Yes, rowing competitions are called regattas. Sometimes if it is just between two clubs, it is called a Duel or a Dual meet or race.

Answer

There are regattas - small races, usually sprint. There are also longer races called long distance sculls or small boats head - there isn't very much difference between the two.

Answer

Sprint races are usually short races (1-2km). There are also head races (usually 4-5km).

Also, meets between three teams is called a tri-meet, or sometimes a tri-regatta (I've only heard the latter used for one competition).
