Membership

Yarmouth Rowing Club welcomes adult rowers with experience. Youth interested in a high school program are encouraged to contact Maine Coast Rowing Association in Brunswick, ME or Waynflete School in Portland, ME.

NEW for 2025! Yarmouth Rowing Club hosted a Learn to Row program during June 2025 at the Waynflete School Boathouse in Portland, Maine on the Fore River. Adults new to rowing or wanting a refresher joined us.

Interested in joining? Contact our Club President, C.C. Stockly ccstockly@gmail.com to arrange a trial row.

Guest Rower Policy
Prospective members (with prior rowing experience) may join us as a guest for two complimentary trial rows. All prospective members and guest rowers MUST have a US Rowing waiver on file or sign a YRC waiver prior to rowing. See “Waivers & Deadlines” details below.

*Shell storage is not protected from the elements. You must be a Club member to use the private boat racks. Please use your own cushioning materials and tie-downs. Please insure your boat privately as the Club insurance does not cover private boats. Trailer space may be available for travel to and from regattas depending on the number of racing crews.

Waivers & Deadlines
Follow this link to complete an online US Rowing Waiver. It must be submitted and some or all of your dues paid to Yarmouth Rowing Club BEFORE a member is allowed on the water. Remember to add Yarmouth Rowing Club in the “Club or Team name” section of the US Rowing site so we can track who has signed a waiver.

When on the US Rowing waiver site please click the box to “edit profile” and update any changed information or fill in blanks like e-mail and phone number. These are not required for membership, but are the club’s only all-in-one record for information, and once you join and sign the waiver, our administrator can’t change them. Please make sure they are up to date. 

If the site asks you for a club code, it’s S3ALR.  The site may require a fee of $25 just to sign the waiver if you don’t opt for the “Championship” membership.  

They may also require you to take a quiz regarding rowing and safety rules, but you literally can’t fail; you just have to select from the multiple choice answers and see if you get them right.

The good news is that, if this works smoothly, members can avoid having to sign a paper waiver for our records each year as well as the on-line waiver for US Rowing. Guests, however, will still be asked to sign our paper waiver forms until further notice. YarmouthRowingClubWaiver-2
