when do we row

Access to the boatshed at Huntleys Cove is unrestricted, which means Members are able to row at anytime of the day. For some of the our more competitive and inspired Members this means hitting the water before the sun comes up and for others it means having a leisurely mid-morning paddle. Despite the varying times and days that Members row, we typically come together every Sunday morning for a row followed by coffee at Hunters Hill. 

Fleet

NMRC has a full compliment of rowing boats and members can develop their skills in sculling or sweep oar rowing in one of four single sculls, a double/pair, a quad/four, or an eight.
