Hi Everyone!
To kick off the coming the season, and allay concerns about how to get in one's volunteer hours, we've scheduled the Rowing Spring Soapsuds and Schmooze party (formerly known as the Spring Rowing Work Party) for Sunday, March 12th, 10AM - noon.
We'll be doing the following:
And don't worry about not knowing what to do, or how to do it: "Management" will make the event hum with efficiency and pop, if not with their entertainment skills then certainly with the tunes they'll be bringing.
So hit that Register button before the spaces are gone!
PS: if you're not a Fleet Captain or Director, register as a Volunteer.
This Checkout is for new members with previous rowing experience who want to use the fleet: as such, it is a prerequisite to using the rowing craft. It is also recommended for those who haven't been on the water in a while and wish to refresh their general knowledge of handling the Echos.
We will be getting on the water and rowing, so please dress appropriately.
The Checkout covers:
The self-rescue is done at the end of the Checkout; as it typically involves spending about three minutes in the water, you may wish to bring a wetsuit.
New members must demonstrate a successful self-rescue to pass the Checkout. Therefore, depending on the outcome of the Checkout, you may be asked to take an Introductory Lesson
This Checkout is for members who have passed the Regular Checkout, have two or more years of rowing experience and/or more than ten rowing sessions on the water, and want to row the LiteRace 1x.

Introduction to Rowing Lessons.
These lessons are for people who are new to the sport. It is open to the public, as well as to Club Locarno members. Eight hours of instruction will get you to the point where you can safely launch, land, and row on your own.
Meet at the Club Locarno rowing shed, located at the East end of the Jericho compound (near the Windsure hut).
If you wish, bring a wetsuit for the second lesson. During that class you will need to perform a self-rescue. (Don't be nervous... everyone can do it!)
This Clinic is for Rowing Fleet Members who want to refresh their knowledge of safety procedures and a chance to practice self-rescues.
We will cover the main elements of rigging, de-rigging, launching, landing, safety requirements and procedures (e.g., use, care, and packing of PFDs), contingency planning (e.g., what to do when things go wrong on the water, such as a broken oar/oarlock).
We will also practice multiple self-rescues.
Note: wetsuits are mandatory
Meet at the Club Locarno Rowing Shed, located at the East end of the Jericho compound (near the Windsure hut).
