Two sessions – 8:45 or 9:30 AM

Let Frank Cunningham guide you in unraveling the mysteries of rigging.  Suitable for those rowers who are interested in proper adaptation of rowing equipment to their individual height and strength.
In this hands-on experience each rower will be able to reproduce the exact measurements of rigging and oars that perfectly suit him or her without recourse to formulas or any but the simplest calculations.
First 12 to sign up will be personally guided and leave with proper specifications for their own equipment.  All others welcome to watch and learn!  At conclusion, you will know how to do it yourself with simple tools from your home.

Respond here or Email kcdietz56@gmail.com if you’d like to sign up or have any questions.  Only six per session so indicate the time that works for you.  Coffee and treats will be served!

Saturday September 26

Join in LWRC’s only annual social event that includes rowing. 

Locks to Fremont Bridge race course, handicapped, multiple categories, costumes, prizes and trophies, great potluck breakfast!  The complete package, topped off by predicted dynamite weather.  Bring guests, especially potential new rowers and members, and just come watch and eat if you don’t want to row. 

Entry forms available now at sign-out desk.  Boat reservation sign-up in boat bays.  We encourage members who have never raced to give it a try.  This is family fun day.  For the veterans it’s a chance to demolish the course record.  The goal is lots of boats on the water having a good time.

Don’t forget to bring a breakfast-type food offering and a couple of bucks to cover costs of prizes and coffee.

For most recent information review the flyers posted all over the boat bays. See you there!
