Due to our northern location we don’t normally begin rowing until the beginning of May. The season is most active from mid-May to mid-October, around HOCR weekend. If you’re interested in regular rowing, please contact downeastrowing@gmail.com. Important the club uses the Team Reach app (available for iPhones and Android) to track attendance, send weather alerts, and keep members in touch. Please email for instructions on how to connect to Downeast Rowing on the app.
Sculling
For the 2025 season we plan to have sculling sessions with a coach supervising three mornings each week: Tuesday (group), Thursday (Learn to Row) and Saturday (Group). Tuesday and Saturday are Group Club Rows that can accommodate scullers still learning technique but able to row an Aero or a single; Thursday mornings are set aside for Learn to Row. Learn to Row sessions on Thursday mornings are for individuals brand new to sculling/rowing. Competitive Rows/Workouts on Fridays are for athletes wanting to train together and are unsupervised.
Learn to Row / Learn to Scull sessions (2 weeks each) will allow new athletes to get a start, and then, based on interest, join organized outings (Club rows of Tuesday and Saturday) with recreational or more competitive groups of scullers.
Experienced scullers/club members that have demonstrated proficiency and who follow safety procedures are able to row/scull on their own schedule.

Outings are anticipated for experienced scullers and or sweep rowers in 2025. We hope to have an experienced 4x or 4+ go out Saturday mornings.
