Regatta

The rowers are called oarsmen, and the scullers are called scullers. A regatta is a name given to a race for rowing or yachting, a vestige of the Venetian gondola races.
[history]
Although oar-powered boats existed in ancient Egypt, and galleys were built in Greek and Roman times, the first recorded instance of rowing as a sport was a boat race organised by Aeneas, described in Virgil's Aeneid.
