Regatta fans will be delighted to see t-sips as the title sponsor for Royal-Thomian Regatta for a third consecutive time this month. The two schools will come head to head at the Beira Lake in what is already established as legendary rivalry.

The Royal-Thomian Regatta is the third biggest annual event that makes up the long-standing of rivalry between the two schools. Begun in 1962 as the Royal-Thomian Boat Race it later evolved into the Royal-Thomian Regatta or the Regatta in 1966. Each year one of the schools hosts the anticipated event. This year it will be Royal College.

t-sips became the title sponsor for the regatta back in 2009. Since then t-sips has sponsored the event for three consecutive years in a row.

The Sponsorship of the Regatta is just another way of giving back to the community by supporting the development of the rowing at school level. t-sips not only sponsors the event but also the Royal team. t-sips has further gifted a boat for the Royal team costing Rupees 1.7 million and hopes to take the sponsorship to the next level by even sponsoring the sport at a national level, in the near future.

The races are rowed over a distance of 1000 yards and take place on the Beira Lake in Colombo. The defending champions of the event is Royal College.
