A current listing of club boats and responsibilities can be downloaded from this site (PDF file): Club Boats (as of July '05)

From the Club Rowing Committee (CRC)

The Club Rowing Committee's constituency ranges from novices to Olympians. Our mission is to serve PBC membership by maintaining a fleet of high quality rowing equipment. To that end, we have made a lot of changes in the last few months. Please read below to learn about our inventory of boats, plus which boats we are selling and buying. To contact the Club Rowing Committee, send an email to the chairperson (currently Sylvia Frayne) at crc@potomacboatclub.org, or phone 703-312-4894.

We really appreciate everyone who helped out at the CRC workdays in the past. If you are using the CRC equipment, please look for our workdays, and pitch in! We need continuous help to maintain the equipment in good working order. We have arranged the club singles in the main bay of the boathouse to make them more easily accessible, and have labeled all of the equipment to eliminate confusion with boats sizes and the racing committee equipment. Please contact us if you would like to join!

Cheers! The CRC . . .
