Whether you become an Affiliate Member School or not, you will enjoy all the amenities that we have in place to celebrate our
76th regatta.  Athletes and coaches will continue to enjoy the convenience of our launch area with our state of the art launch
docks.  Located below the race course, this area allows crews to practice on the river, and also makes launching before the race
and docking after the race very convenient.  Our beautiful awards dock will be exciting for all medal winners.
