Looks like the first regatta will be the FCRCC Spring Dragon Boat Regatta on Sunday May 9th, 2004.
You can download their registration package at

These regatta's are usually where teams fine-tune their races while giving their paddlers experience in race-conditions. At best, their results are taken with a grain of salt.
