Maine Coast Rowing Association
Opportunities and Excellence in Rowing
Maine Coast Rowing Association promotes the sport of rowing for people of all ages.
Our boatyard is located along the Androscoggin River at the Water Street boat ramp in Brunswick, Maine. Dedicated coaches and a multitude of volunteers bring skill, experience, and passion to our organization.
Opportunities to compete as well as to embrace the discipline and rigor of the sport make MCRA a great place to row.
Membership
MCRA has levels of membership to suit any level of commitment. The MCRA fee structure is designed to allow participants to select a level that best meets their needs. Depending on the level of membership and experience, members will have access to select from various MCRA fee-based offerings including coached programs, attending regattas under the MCRA banner, attending social events, boat storage, and boat usage.
Masters
Our Masters (adult) program is designed to accommodate all levels of rowers, from those who have never rowed before to those who wish to compete. Once rowers move beyond the intermediate skill level, and after passing a Captain's test, they are eligible to row in MCRA events and use MCRA equipment.
The Masters program includes our Learn to Row and our Competitive Masters program.
Collegiate (18-25)
MCRA offers collegiate rowers an opportunity to continue training throughout the summer. If the rower passes the MCRA Captain's Test and is approved by the Director, they may utilize MCRA boats as desired. Additionally, collegiate rowers are encouraged to participate in the summer youth training sessions for no additional charge.
Juniors (18U)
MCRA offers year-round rowing training and racing opportunities to students in the 8th through 12th grades. Rowers will have opportunities to race in regattas throughout New England. Our goal is to spread the joy and technique of sculling and sweep rowing to the greater Midcoast Maine area. Both new and experienced rowers are welcome.
