Community Rowing Program.
Open to all Maritime Gloucester members 18 years of age and older, this
program provides opportunities to enjoy recreational rowing in
Gloucester Harbor. Rowers have unlimited use of three boats, two pilot
gigs and a Banks dory. The pilot gigs, Siren Song (30') and Gannet, (32)'
each accommodate six single-oar rowers and a coxswain. The dory
(16') can be rowed by one or two people. The rowing season is
from mid-April through November, with opportunities to row every day,
typically in the morning or afternoon. Rows are usually about one
hour long and rowers sign-up for times that fit their schedules via an
on-line sign up.
There is a fee of $50 per year to participate in the rowing program,
which covers the use of all necessary equipment except life jackets.
While no previous rowing experience is necessary, all rowers must
participate in a short orientation session prior to going out on a
boat. Those who enjoy competition have the opportunity to
participate in a variety of races throughout the season.
The rowing program is an all-volunteer organization and members are
encouraged to help with a number of support tasks throughout the
year. For more information, see;
