Registration is closed

This is a free clinic that is intended for

new members who are experienced rowers who want to have their skills checked out so that they can get on the water (mandatory prerequisite to using the fleet)
returning rowers who are feeling a bit rusty

We will cover the entire curriculum of the introductory rowing lessons EXCEPT actually rowing the boat

overview of the fleet
rigging and derigging
launching and landing
use of logbooks
policies and practices
distance rowing (where to go, tides, wind/waves, currents, hazards)
capsize recovery (i.e. get back into the boat from deep water)

Note that new members should bring a wetsuit and towel, as they must demonstrate a successful capsize recovery to complete their checkout. Returning members are of course welcome to do so as well.
