The live webcast of the regatta, set to take place Saturday and Sunday on the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass., is provided by Marblehead, Mass.-based D3Cast, a Bullpen Media LLC site, said Fred Schoch, the regatta's executive director.

The webcast will be available at the Head of the Charles Inc.'s Web site, Schoch said.

A camera stationed atop the Cambridge Boat Club will provide a bird's-eye view of the more than 8,000 rowers as they maneuver "Dead Man's Curve," one of the toughest stretches in all of rowing, he said. The feed will also include audio from the announcer's stand at the Cambridge Boat Club.

"So if your mom lives in Nebraska, she can tune in when your race is scheduled and actually see you go by," Schoch said.

After the races are over, the audio and video will be available through archived links on the Web site, he said.
