Pull the door closed behind you. This side of the site is for our athletes and families — the coach's journal, and the guides we don't hand to the competition.

Safety on Our Water

The traffic pattern every coxswain knows by heart, the channel we never row, lights, Hi-Viz, and dressing for the water.

The Coach's Journal

From the Launch

What actually happened on the water this week — written from the best seat in the house. The Sunday-coffee read that answers the questions before you have to ask them.

A Guide to Rowing

Boats, seats, the language, the racing — everything a new CIR family needs to know, including how to spot our pink Hudsons from a mile of riverbank.

Your Photos

Every regatta, your phones catch what the launch can't. Drop your shots in the upload folder: pick the regatta, or Misc if in doubt. One ask: curate before you upload. Your best frame, not ten of the same moment. The winners make the site, the blog, and Photo of the Week.
City Island Rowing · The Game
The Hutchinson River Bridge Run Game.
Trust your cox.

Bridge to bridge, the way we row it: off the 95, under the Parkway, under the railroad, and the Shore Road span is the line. You row facing the stern, so everything ahead is hidden. Sally sees all of it. Do what she says, or crunch.

Phone or keyboard. The board keeps the top five this week and all time; your best row is the one that counts.
