VILLAGE COMMUNITY BOATHOUSE Details
We are the only NYC organization that offers public and free rowing in the Hudson River and along all of the 500 mile coatsline of the New York City Estuary.We promote awareness of the public ownership of our urban waterways and provide the means for everyone to access them. We are building, maintaining and rowing traditional Whitehall Gigs, preserving the arts of small-boat seamanship and boatbuilding as well as advancing environmental stewardship of the harbor and the estuary.The Village Community Boathouse is located on the south side ofPier 40, at the end of West Houston Street in Hudson River Park. The nearest subway is the #1 at Houston Street, but you can also ride the F, V, D, B, A, C, or E trains to West 4th Street, which is only a ten minute walk away. Citibike now has a station at Pier 40.In the summer and fall, we also offer community rowing in Brooklyn Bridge Park. In the winter, we fous on boatbuildingand some of our experienced and youthful rowers participate in races. Our boats typically carry four rowers and a coxswain, or skipper, certified by us, and can carry two additional passengers. We have had rowers and passengers between the ages of 1 and 94. They all came back safely and with big smiles on their faces and the occasional callus on theior hands. Life jackets are provided. As are lockers or watertight bags for the rowers' belongings.We are a nonprofit organization entirely run by volunteers. While no commitment is required from those who row with us, our facilities, boats, and equipment require regular upkeep and repair. Your participation — and monetary contributions — are vital to the health of our organization and much appreciated.We encourage regular rowers to become members.
