Carrying the coaches, emergency equipment and lifejackets for everyone on the water, the safety launch boats are an integral part of every rowing practice. A $35 contribution covers the operating costs of these launches for two weeks of training on the water.

In cases of cold weather, this insulated suit helps protect our coxwains from both the cold and the wet while we row. The suit also provides safety precautions in the event of an emergency that requires the coxwain to swim.

Measuring in at 12 feet and weighing a little over 5 lbs, the oars are fundamental to propelling the boat through the water. New oars will help our program stay competitive at a national level.

The Concept2 Rower is the bread and butter of our fitness regime. While working on our technique is important, improving our cardio and strength is essential to our success.
