You have experience as a coxswain and work closely with the coach on race strategies and keeping your crew motivated.

Jindabyne Rowing Club - We Need Boats

Item Posted: 17/10/2024

While Jindabyne Rowing Club establishes itself as the home of rowing in the NSW Snowy Mountains we are calling out for assistance from the wider rowing community.

We have a small and growing fleet but WE NEED BOATS. We are currently looking to acquire 2-3 quads, or 4x/4- s and possibly an 8+ suitable for women or mixed crews.

As we establish the club from the beginning, we are also on the lookout for equipment including, oars, trestles, cox boxes and ergs in good working order.

Let us know if you are turning over any part of your fleet, have a scull or two for sale or looking to make space in your shed by offloading excess equipment.

We are hoping to bring a trailer to Canberra and Sydney before the Christmas period (or sooner). Or we could arrange to meet and transfer boats at any regatta points along the way, or if clubs are heading to Melbourne for Head Of The Yarra.

If you can help please contact us on:
