As we enter the 2023 season, we look back at the great improvements the Club made at the waterfront last year. Much needed renovations to the Club pontoon rentals brought a lively ripple effect felt through the entire facility. A new rescue boat, the Poly410, was added to the fleet to allow for better response and rescue times while providing the Club the opportunity to repurpose the old skiff into a rental fishing skiff (much to the delight of our members who fish!) Our Boat Master, Ted Thiessen, enhanced the facility with a multitude of projects resulting in a streamlined member experience and increased usage of the facilities

Recognizing the history of the sport at Tuxedo, the Club is now an active member of the U S Rowing Association making the Club the 2nd oldest rowing organization in the country. The inaugural 1886 Regatta last October was well received by members and guests alike. The competitors, eight men and eight women by invitation only (featuring many U.S. Olympic team members), spoke very highly of the experience and it has sparked extraordinary interest from the rowing community We would like to recognize the members and stewards of the Regatta Committee for their diligent efforts to bring rowing back to the community

Thank you to Joe Ehrlich, Chris Mahan and our sculling advisor Michael Martinov The 2nd annual 1886 Regatta is set to take place on Sunday, October 8, 2023
