Guest Rower Policy Experienced rowers visiting from out of town are welcome for a guest row. We kindly ask for a donation to the club for your row. All guest rowers MUST have a US Rowing waiver on file and 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 will require a membership fee of $25 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.
Prospective members and Guest rowers are required to print and sign our waiver form and deliver it to a YRC club member before going out on the water. YarmouthRowingClubWaiver-2
