Row for the River event invitation for Yankee Rowers!

Jaime Caron

#919

Hello YCR Members,?

I am sending along Northampton Community Rowing's invitiation to join their fun Row for the River?on Sept 15th.? Please see the detailed description of the event on the attached flier.?

NCR is inviting folks to row with them in their big boats, quads, doubles or in our own singles. They are asking?for a donation of $100 to participate as it is a fundraiser for NCR and CRC as they aim to raise $20,000. But of course, folks could donate and not participate.? After the row, YCR members are also invited to join in a celebration and boat dedication for some of NRC’s new singles at NCR.? ?

Please feel free to reach out to the President of NCR Board and fellow YCR Member, Sally Linowski, if you have any questions. Also, please join in on wishing for good weather!!!?

Best,?

Jaime

Yankee Rowing: College Crews & HampCrew Returning Soon

#918

Yankee Rowers,

The college crews and HampCrew will be returning to the river soon (in the next week or two).?

At times, things are likely to get busy on or around the docks??at the Sports-man's Marina,?which we share with the Amherst College and Smith College crews, and the U/Mass women's crew. Please be considerate, patient, and flexible when using the?docks. And please be extra careful on the water, keeping an eye out for rowing shells and launches (and buoys) near and behind you.??Also, please stay on the appropriate side of the river: going upstream, stay toward the Hadley side of the river; and going down-stream, stay toward the Northampton/Hatfield side of the river.?

Here are the fall practice schedules for the various local crews:?

Amherst College:??Mon - Fri at 5:30 - 7:30 PM; and Sat at 8:30 - 11:00 AM

Smith College:?With the full team: Mon - Thurs at 4:30?- 6:40 PM, and some Fridays at 6:00 - 8:00 AM, and Sat at 7:00 - 10:00 AM. And a few small boat sessions with 4-8 athletes in the morning: Mon - Thurs at 7:30 - 8:30 AM.?

U/Mass Women:??Mon - Fri at 6:45 - 9: 00 AM, launching around 7:00 - 7:15 AM and landing around 8:45 AM; and?Sat launching around 7:15 - 7:30 AM and landing around 9:30 AM.

U/Mass Men?(launching from the dock on the Northampton side of the river between the two bridges): ?Next week, starting Tues, 7/27, they will do double sessions on?Tues - Sat at 7:00 - 9:00 AM and at around 1:00 - 4:00 PM. After next week, they will resume normal practice times on Mon - Fri at ?6:00 - 9:00 AM; and Sat at 7:00 - 10:00 AM.?

Northampton Community Rowing/HampCrew?(launching from their dock upstream, just before the turn in the river at the Honeypot): Mon - Sat at 5:30 - 7:30 AM; and Mon - Fri at 4:15 - 6:30 PM.?

Thanks very much to the local coaches and crews for providing information regarding their practice times.

Best,

Ernie?

It was fun and inspiring to be together.

With thanks to Brenda who got us organized to do this and to Ernie who worked the dock so effectively?

The key lesson is to normalize the uhoh moments and be able to move through them because s**t happens even on the water?

Thanks Ernie! Yes, good to be doing after the Covid gap and other matters.

?

Here are a few details:

?

I plan o rig and launch a Maas and Piernert 25, and have both available for you to pick you practice vessel
I will do a demo and then each is invited to give it a go. Its pretty straightforward, but then again, not necessarily as easy as it looks in the videos. It is a fun time, underscored with the great Yankee spirit and some inevitable hilarity. We are among friends!
I plan to tether each boat due to residual current and needing to have a safety back up.
Both of the demo boats are stern rigged without stays.? If you row with a stern rigger/bow stay, or bow rigger/stern stay, you may wish to do the practice in that boat. It would be a plus for all to see how that unfolds, as sometimes we find ourselves rowing in an unfamiliar boat in an unfamiliar place. Launch your stayed-boat and place northerly up the dock a bit.
May be cool and cloudy so bring a change of clothes.

See you in the AM as you are able and or interested.

Jonathan

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. It's important to know how to self-rescue in case you fall into the river. Even if you've?done a self-rescue drill previously, it's good to do it again now and then. (We used to do this regularly, at least once or twice a season. But we haven't done it in a while. We're hoping to return to doing it on a regular basis.)
