Havnar Róðrarfelag

Havnar Róðrarfelag is a Faroese rowing club in Tórshavn.

[2] The boats participate in the rowing competitions which are held around the islands in June and July, starting with Norðoyastevna in Klaksvík and ending with the final boat race at Ólavsøka in Tórshavn.

Havnar Róðrarfelag owns 8 wooden rowing boats, which are of all the sizes, which are used in Faroese rowing competitions; the boats are called 5-mannafar, 6-mannafar (both 5-mannafar and 6-mannafar are manned by 6 rowers and one steerman), 8-mannafar (manned by 8 rowers and one steerman) and 10-mannafar (manned by 10 rowers and one steerman).

The champion is determined by seven races; it may take fewer, if the difference between the first two is more than seven points, which cannot be overcome.

The boat which has most points after the final race on Ólavsøka wins the Faroese championship.

The dragon head is the symbol of the boats of Havnar Róðrarfelag, the stem of the boats is shaped as a dragon head.
