Description
From Village Community Boathouse:
Sign up here for the May 19 community row!
At each session, after a brief orientation, participants will be assigned to a crew with an experienced coxswain to steer the boat and a mixture of experienced and new rowers. Our boats, Whitehall gigs, are stable, traditional working boats for four rowers and a coxswain.
Please note: Rows will last between one and three hours, dependent on weather, tides, and destination. Participants are expected to help launch, retrieve, and clean the boats each session.
Community rowing is open to all, although some physical agility is required. The focus of the program is on teamwork and recreation in a safe and respectful environment. Each participant must sign a waiver. Life jackets are provided. Expect to be out in the hot sun for several hours—bring water and sunscreen!
