COASTAL ROWING AT OWRC - LEARN MORE

VISIT US!

OWRC is part of the Schoonmaker Point Marina at 85 Liberty Ship Way in Sausalito, CA — permits are required for parking (check with the office for more information). Our office is always staffed during operating hours and we have (4) Concept 2 rowing machines inside. We also have some essential rowing apparel available for purchase. Men’s and women’s restrooms, locker rooms and showers are available to members.

THE BOATHOUSE

The Liz Stone Boathouse, in the Schoonmaker building, is where all craft and oars are stored. There are two spaces: the main boat bay, and the front/office showroom. Members storing private rowing shells in the Stone Boathouse receive assistance from staff when desired and may have access to the shellhouse at all times, except for when the facility is closed due to weather. Learn more about storing your boat at OWRC on the Storage page.

OUR DOCK

Our JetFloat dock is accessed from ramps with ~ 6’ of daily tide movement. The dock is low and spacious to allow multiple shells to launch and land. The floating dock is sheltered from wind and traffic, with perfect access to the Bay!

CURRENT FLEET

The majority of our club boats are less than three years old and the mix of club boats changes with the needs of the club. We use oars from Concept 2; the majority are hatchets, Big Blade w/ vortex edge. We also provide (and require) a personal flotation device for each club boat.

We turn over our club fleet regularly, so used rowing shells are occasionally available - ask club management if you are interested. Members also offer up their used boats from time-to-time we are happy to make buyer/seller introductions when we can.

Nothing beats the happiness of a rower and her new shell!
