A NOTE FROM NATHALIE FISCHER, MHRA PRESIDENT

Even though spring weather can’t quite make up its mind, we’re back on the water. Some mornings call for short sleeves, others for coats and hats—but every early alarm has been worth it. We’ve been treated to stunning sunrises, plenty of bird sightings, and some truly fantastic rowing conditions.

Our Learn to Row and Sculling Clinics are filling up quickly, so if you’ve been thinking about joining us, don’t wait too long. Have questions or just want to talk rowing? Feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to chat.
