Masters Morning Rowing and Youth Age Categories
This year's San Diego Crew Classic is back and as most of you know we've had a couple of changes. The first being that the Youth races are now all age group categories, following the changes by USRowing. The second is that the Masters Age Group racing is now in the morning. A-E is Saturday morning and F+ is Sunday morning. We're looking forward to seeing all of you racing and then enjoying the beach for the rest of the day. You can register here.
Coronado Brewing Company Beer Garden
We're also happy to announce that this year's Beer Garden will be sponsored by Coronado Brewing Company. They will be offering their Salty Crew Blonde Ale, Weekend Vibes IPA, Palm Sway IPA, and Orange Ave Wit. For those of you that don't drink beer they'll also be offering their Nice & Dry Cider and their Super Fruit with Acai Berry Cider. Coronado Brewing Company takes the coastal lifestyle seriously, so come and make a toast to more time with your toes in the sand and swimming in the surf.
San Diego Crew Classic Official Gear
Regatta Wear will be providing all of you with San Diego Crew Classic gear. They'll be supplying the entry tent, so all of you will be able to buy your gear on the way into the regatta. They'll also be supplying the competitor long sleeve performance t-shirt, so make sure to ask your coach about details on those in the next month.
Sharp Memorial Outpatient Pavilion Brunch By The Bay: The Rowing Twenties
The brunch tent will be sponsored by Sharp Memorial Outpatient Pavilion. Sharp has supplied the San Diego Crew Classic with first aid and medical care for more than twenty years and we're happy to have them back, as sponsors for this year's Brunch by the Bay: The Rowing Twenties. Because just like the Roaring Twenties, we all need to kick off our flip flops and let our hair down after three years of no Crew Classic.
Oar Repair and Erg Raffle
Concept2 will be back as a sponsor and for those of you that need any repairs, etc with your oars, they will be on site and providing service first-come first-serve (they do not take reservations). If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we'll do what we can to help. They also have generously agreed to donate an ergometer for our annual raffle. Tickets will be for sale on the grounds.
Gazebo Sponsor
Shimano will also back as the gazebo sponsor in the athlete area. They will allow you to check out their specialized SRD 600 foot stretchers, with their virtual pivot system and of course the ability to switch shoes, getting rid of the need to share shoes between athletes.
Erg Warm-up Provider
If you want to warm-up on land before you go on the water, we're happy to say that Community Rowing of San Diego has made their ergometers available in the warm-up area. They'll also have some learn to row opportunities and will be sending a number of volunteers to help out around the regatta grounds. Thank you Community Rowing of San Diego you really know how to show up and support the rowing community.
Most of all though, we're excited to have all of you back for another amazing weekend of racing on the sunny shores of Mission Bay at the 49th San Diego Crew Classic.
