Master’s rowing

A group of people who row for the love of it.

  • Racing and performance is not for everyone, so our masters programme and coaching is tailored to individual needs for comfort and enjoyment.

  • Socialising is important to this group. There’s almost always someone to row with, and you’ll find there’s always someone ready to go for a coffee or breakfast after a session.

  • For ages 27 and over.

  • Includes coaching (and GST).

  • Excludes RNZ license fees, ARA levy fees and regatta entry fees.
