Answer
A regatta is a boat race or series of boat races. This can include both powered and unpowered craft. The term regatta may describe either a rowing race or sailing race, however it is not usually used to describe a race between powerboats. The term is also used to describe the festivities that occur during the lead up to the races, often a large social event for the town in which the regatta takes place.
