Let an agent explain regattas and their kinds, relay racing rules and organisation from sailing and rowing bodies, describe notable events, and distinguish regattas from cruising rallies and single boat records.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

A series of boat races or a single sailing or rowing competition, from club and regional regattas to world championships in classes such as the 29er and ILCA, tall ship gatherings, and ocean races such as the Vendee Globe, the Mini Transat and transatlantic races; regattas are organised by clubs and federations under racing rules, combine sport with festivity, and range from short course racing to months-long solo circumnavigation.
