Our mission is to promote the sport of rowing in the Greater New Haven area. We also work to promote the safe recreational use of the Housatonic River basin.
Description:
New Haven Rowing Club is a non-profit organization that promotes the sport of rowing through providing facilities, running a Learn-to-Row program several times a year, and running two annual regattas, the Derby Sweeps and Sculls (spring) and the Head of the Housatonic in the fall. We own our own boat house in Oxford, CT, which is kept up solely by the donated efforts of the members.
The NHRC welcomes new members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
History:
The New Haven Rowing Club is a private, nonprofit rowing organization, situated in the Town of Oxford, Connecticut, on the Housatonic River.
Founded in 1970, the NHRC has nearly 100 members ranging in age from 16 to 75. Currently, men represent about 60% and women 40% of our total membership. We have a beautiful two-bay boathouse with complete locker-room facilities, a spacious clubroom, and a weight room with ergs.
Our Club is well known in the US and internationally. NHRC rowers have won medals at major regattas such as the Head of the Charles, the US Masters National Championship Regatta, the San Diego Crew Classic, and many others. In 1981, the Club set out on the first of its now annual trips to Europe to race in the FISA World Masters Championship Regatta.
