Please come to the Simsbury boathouse on Thursday May 10 at 7:45pm, and to Rainbow Reservoir on Friday May 11 at 6pm to load boats on to the trailer to get ready for our first regatta of the season!

We will be unloading and washing boats immediately after the race on Saturday.

Morning Practices

Starting Monday, May 7, all Monday and Friday practices will be moving to mornings from 5:30-7am.  Please be aware of this when signing up for practices.


FVRA Season Kick Off & Social

Please come to a brunch, social and work party after practice at Camp Shalom on Sunday April 29.  Please bring a dish to share and work clothes to help clean up the camp after practice.  Practice starts at 8am, clean up and brunch to follow.


Rowing at Rainbow

Starting Monday, April 23, ALL practices will be held at Rainbow Reservoir at the Camp Shalom site.  The water on the Farmington is dangerously low and we need to protect our boats.  Please remember to bring a pfd if you have one, and we will have extras on site.  Bring plenty of water as there is no running water there.  Also please be prepared to wade in if necessary.
