Open Rows are open to all! Designed to accommodate rowers who would like to row at different times with mixed crews. If the crew is full, you can sign up to ride as a bow rider or an alternate. Bow riders can come along for the ride or switch in to row, while alternates are backups incase of a call-out.



If you're signed up for a row and can no longer attend, please delete yourself from the row preferably with 24hr notice to give the alternate enough time to prepare.



At a minimum, the boats require a steerer and four rowers to head out, so the crew depends on each other to row!
