The Regatta will be held from 21-24 September 2023 on the Roodeplaat Dam. The dam is a well-known rowing location and training venue for the South African national rowing team. It is situated about 25km from the city of Tshwane and 80km north of Johannesburg.
The official logo for the 2023 World Rowing Masters Regatta was designed by former South African national team rower and Olympian, Ursula Grobler, whose concept was chosen following a competition within the rowing community.
The logo reflects the vibrant colours and culture of Africa as well as its fauna and flora.
