The first regatta organised by the newly formed FISA was the European Rowing Championships and was held in 1893 in Orta, Italy.

 Rules of Rowing (1)
"Rowing" is the propulsion of a displacement boat through water by the muscular force of one or more rowers, with or without a coxswain, in which oars are levers of the second order, and in which the rowers are sitting with their backs to the direction of forward movement of the boat.
(m) "Race" shall mean the rowing of the course in a competitive manner by one or more crews, the results of which are used as part of the process to determine the winner and order of placement in an event.
Whenever a race is approaching, a non-competing crew rowing at or near the perimeter of the course shall stop rowing, come to a complete rest, and make sure that it does not interfere with the race, either by obstructing the path of the competing crews or accompanying launches, or by causing a wash.
