The Head Of The Charles Regatta was first organized in 1965 by Cambridge Boat Club members D'Arcy MacMahon, Howard McIntyre, and Jack Vincent. Harvard University sculling instructor Ernest Arlett proposed the idea for the race. The Regatta expanded to a two-day event in 1997. In 1991, Frederick V. Schoch was appointed Executive Director of the Regatta, and he continues to oversee the event.
