National Learn To Row Day

CRC particiated in the ninth annual National Learn to Row Day on Sunday, June 6. It was a huge success. We filled eight 8+ boats with new rowers . It was a full boathouse effort with coaches, shells, launches and coxn's provided by SJRC, Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Bishop Eustace and Rutgers.

Oars

Club oars are located along the wall at the end of our bay near the hose. They are all Concept II's, and most have green collars, a few with black collars. There is one set of Crokers with pink collars. All are painted CRC red and black with a yellow C on the blades.

There is a rack running parallel to the boats between our bay and the private boat bay. There are no CRC club oars in that rack. There are currently 4 sets of private oars stored there, with blades that look identical to CRC club blades. The privately owned oars are all Crokers with bright pink sleeves and the owners names written on them. Please do not use or move these oars, or any other privately owned oars, without permission from the owner.

Rowing Reminders

If you have an incident with any of our boats or equipment please let Bob know (rpm_56@yahoo.com) ASAP!!!!

After you row, WASH DOWN THE BOAT, no exceptions!

Use bow and stern lights when rowing in pre-dawn or at dusk. Also make sure the suction cup lights are secure before rowing (wet them before applying to the deck, we retrieved a stern light last week floating by the dock. Check out the new blinking stern light from Chesapeake Rowing (it's the blinking white light with a shield, so you're not blinded rowing.)

Please be careful when placing boats back on the racks, especially be cognizant of other boats' oarlocks.
