USRowing hopes that the listserv will assist in the day-to-day running of your program. Please use this outlet to look for racing opportunities, boat rentals and equipment sales, cross-country trailering trips, coaching questions, etc. USRowing will use this service as a means to spread the word about nationwide youth rowing opportunities.

Regatta Roundtable – for regatta directors and organizers

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/regattaroundtable

This group came together after the regatta roundtable discussion held at the 2004 USRowing Convention.  Administered by Kourt de Haas and regatta roundtable leader Robert Walton, this listserv is a wonderful way for regatta organizers to bounce ideas off of like minds. It provides an electronic forum for the exchange of ideas relating to the organization and administration of rowing regattas. The scope of topics includes sprint races, head races, scratch regattas, timing methods, results compilation methods, course installation, insurance, and other regatta related topics.
