Racing
Carnegie Lake Rowing Association participates in regattas each season at other clubs along the East Coast. These regattas give our members the opportunity to experience competition and to enjoy the hospitality of other rowing clubs. Some regattas have events for novice as well as experienced rowers, and some are highly competitive. The highlight of the season is our own Carnegie Lake Regatta in the summer. The costs associated with each regatta (boat and van rentals, gasoline, entry fees, etc.) are shared by all participants excluding coxswains. A sign-up sheet is posted on the indoor bulletin board at least one month in advance of each regatta. Boatings are posted approximately two weeks before the regattas and practices are scheduled for one to two weeks before the event.
The Competition Captains are responsible for managing club participation in regattas, setting policy as to participation, selecting the regattas to enter and making all arrangements. The coaches make entry and seat assignments. An effort is made to give everyone who signs up for a regatta a chance to race, but this may not always be possible depending on who signs up and the events available at the regatta.
A 2000-meter Erg Race is held at the Princeton Boathouse in March. All club members, subject to coach's approval, are encouraged to take part. Medals are awarded to the winners in several categories and results are sent to Concept II for listing in the World Rankings issued later in the year.
