| Repair Log
For More Than Boats...
|
Help us keep the building, as well as our equipment, the way you want it by making use of the repair log.
Whether you discover a problem with a boat, a cox box, a light fixture, door or toilet please use this important tool to help Dave keep track of what needs repairing.
Unless we are aware of an issue, we cannot see that it gets taken care of.
If you see something that needs fixing, log it!
Thank you!

| Safe & Happy Fall Rowing
A Few Things to Remember
| |
The fall is an exciting season on the river, and a very busy one. The final stretch of our on-the-water season along with college and high school programs and rowers from all over preparing for the HOCR brings a lot of activity to the Charles.
As the mornings grow colder, the hours of daylight shorter please remember to be above all safe and also courteous to all those who share the river.
Demonstrate your best safety and rowing etiquette during every row for a pleasant and memorable fall season.
