Dress in layers. The mornings may be chilly, but by afternoon the day could heat up. In the event of rain, anticipate mud (and plenty of it).
Pick up an event schedule at the course, and you'll know when the crew is racing.
Food concessions are not always available at regattas, or the selection may be limited. You may want to pack a picnic lunch/dinner.
Between events, stop by the crew tent to help with meals or visit with the crew.
Sometimes vendors are at the regattas selling rowing-related items: clothing, hats, and jewelry. This is a great time to do a little Christmas or birthday shopping.
Learn the lingo. Then when someone calls out "heads up" you won't get hit in the head with a boat!
