Rowers/Parents,

Here is the first release of the schedule for the Walter Mess Regatta on Saturday, April 6—looks like the weather will be good. This week VASRA has the 8s in the morning and small boats in the afternoon, so all our events are later in the day.

All coxswains and sculling bows must attend the noon coxswains’ meeting. Destinae/Margaret—your weigh-in window is 12:00-1:00 PM. All other rowers need to be at the boathouse no later than 2 hours prior to their scheduled start time unless directed otherwise by their coach. Follow VASRAResults for the latest, VASRAStart to announce races on the water, and VASRAParking for parking updates.

Our novices will be in 4s again this week. We have enough boys on the team to field a novice 8, but we haven’t had sufficient regatta-day rower availability to do so. In both the men’s and women’s novice boats we will give rowers who didn’t row last weekend a chance to compete this weekend—so Cate (cox), Emily, and Jordan will debut in the girls’ boat; new to the boys’ boat … Eaden (cox), Alberto, Sam, and Carlos.

See you at the boathouse …
Coach Mike
