- A full range of single sculls (1x) for different rowers of different weights and experience (including very stable beginner shells to fine lightweight racing shells)
- Three double sculls (2x)
- One Quad
- Members can make use of the shower and changing facilities in the boathouse.
- A launch is available for coaching
- Members looking for additional fitness opportunities have the priviledge of registering for a UMass Lowell Recreation Center Membership for an additional fee.
Membership Application
Joining the MRRA is a process. For best results, get the paperwork components done early, then fill out the on-line application. Once the paperwork is done, you'll be able to fulfill the safety requirements at our next upcoming meeting (second Tuesday of every month). Specifically, you'll need to hit the following items, send the four paper forms plus a check, and then attend the next MRRA meeting to see the Safety Video and start the orientation process:
