“This boat isn’t just an investment in equipment — it’s an investment in people. Every stroke in this new gig will help build skills, confidence, and the future of our club.”
Back Our New Boat
Charlestown Rowing Club is launching a Crowdfunder campaign to raise funds for a brand-new GRP (plastic) training gig — an essential step in supporting the next generation of rowers and keeping our crews on the water year-round.
Our current fleet has served us well, but with demand for training sessions, off season racing and social rowing at an all-time high, we’re ready to invest in a more durable, low-maintenance boat that can be used in all conditions. A new GRP gig will allow us to expand access, offer more opportunities to learn, and protect our wooden racing boats from heavy use during training.
Every donation, large or small, will help us bring this vision to life — ensuring that Charlestown continues to thrive as a welcoming, community-driven club that celebrates both tradition and progress.
