The dock is now much wider providing more stability while launching. While it has been put in, the water is still very cold and rowing is not set to start for another couple of weeks.

We are wrapping up the details for our spring/summer programs. Around the end of May into early June we will have a 3 week session and during July we will hold a 3 day weekend clinic (Fri-Sun). Stay tuned for updates and registration which will be found under the “Row With Us” tab.

 

Other updates:

  • Plans are being finalized for a ramp to add before the dock on the beach
  • There will be a team boat moving day on April 13th @ 9 am – more details to come
  • We have purchased a second set of A-frame racks for additional boats coming over from Simsbury on April 13th.
  • The sectional is being listed on row2k.com in hopes of purchasing additional sculling boats

As we start the season in a couple of weeks please be aware of increased traffic down to the water. Both Riverfront and Trinity teams will be at Rainbow while they wait for the snow melt to recede in Hartford.

There will be two sessions available at the Trinity College tanks. The experienced/racing team session will be from 9am – 10:45am and novice clinic will be from 10:45am – 12pm. Trinity sessions will be from January 13th – March 10th. We will also be holding a winter training session at Ethel Walker School in Simsbury for racing team members on Wednesday nights from Jan – March, more info to come.

We’re looking to increase our dock size for next season and are actively working on acquiring additional dock sections and connectors. We have also developed a dock improvement plan for Rainbow to be implemented over the next year.

In an effort to get a better idea of equipment usage a new equipment crew consisting of board members will be looking to create an improved sign-out and maintenance system. We hope to have the new system developed and implemented for spring season 2013. If you have any suggestions for the crew please email Katie at info@fvra.org, we’d love to hear from you.
