Events will include: Land Rowing on our Rowing Machines or "ergs", taking strokes in our indoor rowing tanks, taking strokes on our dock – we'll put one of our boats in the water against the dock and our members will help guide you through the process of taking strokes. You'll also discover a unique way to get out on Duxbury Bay!
