A regatta is a sports event in which there are races of sailing or rowing boats.

In Kerala in India, regattas are very common especially on the occasion of Onam, the important festival in the state. A number of rowers participate in the race with their country boats.
In the regatta, one of the boats participating in the race capsized as another boat hit it and tilted it.
