Frequently Asked Questions
Are there club fees?
Yes, there are club fees. HRC requires an annual $400 fee for general club membership. Club membership entitles club members to use club rowing equipment depending on the rowers’ skill level. HRC requires a separate $400 annual fee for club members who’d like to store their rowing single inside of the boathouse (space permitting).
How do I join?
All prospective club members are evaluated before joining the club, and you must have a RegattaCentral account. Please contact hrc.presidency@outlook.com for more information.
When can I row?
Once you’re an official member, you may row on weekends only from 7 am-9 am EST (unless stated otherwise such as bad weather). If you own your own boat, you can row during the week (once the park opens) - unless the boathouse is closed due to a tropical storm or hurricane.
Do experienced new members have to take lessons?
This is evaluated on an individual basis, and includes a flip test.
Please contact hrc.presidency@outlook.com for more information or to schedule the test.
Does HRC allow Guest Rowing?
Guest rowers can row at HRC for a $25 fee per session. The guest rower must abide by all club rules and be accompanied by a member. Please contact hrc.presidency@outlook.com for more information.
What boats can I row?
HRC is primarily a sculling program and owns singles, doubles, and quads. The rower’s technical on the water skill determines which boat they may row in. Members work this out with the board.
