East Coast Open Water Rowing Championship 2009
Formerly the "Plymouth Bay Row", our race is now called the "East Coast Open Water Rowing Championship."
We hosted our first annual championship race in 2009. The idea was born from a realization that there is no event in which all the clubs and independents up and down the coast can get together for a season-ending race and party.
Though initially the idea was to bring together the fixed seat racers on a course less than four miles with a few turns, sliding seat crews are welcome. The event is, however, limited to rowing only - sorry no paddlers.
We work to make this a top-notch event that has classes for every type of rowing boat, as well as separate classes for men and women (but no junior class). After the racing, we celebrate with a medals ceremony and party.
Crews from as far away as Canada and possibly the U.K. come to this Championship race.
This Championship has you racing against boats in your class in a finals-only format, with the fastest boats going off first in heats. Heats are designed to accommodate the sharing of boats, i.e., men's and women's crews. The course is approximately 3.5 miles long with two easy turns. The start and finish line are at Nelsons beach, just a few hundred yards from the town ramp.
