&lt;p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Scores may or may not be recorded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;We have a good number of members private boats, and we have four Sail Haven Fleet boats. Most of our participants will be sharing their boats with fellow Sail Haven Members!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Tuesday mornings from 10am till 12:30pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;We have a good number of members private boats, and we have four Sail Haven Fleet boats. Most of our participants will be sharing their boats with fellow Sail Haven Members!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p dir="ltr" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Sail Haven's “Fun Spring Racing Series” is the perfect way for members to boost their sailing skills while enjoying some friendly competition. As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Ready to take your rowing to the next level? These clinics are designed for athletes who already know the basics and want to sharpen their technique, build fitness, and put in real time on the water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who This Clinic Is For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This program is built for experienced rowers who have completed at least one season with Row Haven and can demonstrate solid safety awareness and boating fundamentals. If you know the drills and are ready to do the work, this is your summer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every session runs about two hours, with on-the-water rowing as the priority whenever conditions allow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;First 20 minutes – Drop-off, group check-in, and warm-up&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;60 minutes – Rowing and fitness on the water (weather permitting)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;20 minutes – Washing and storing equipment&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Final 20 minutes – Snack, group debrief, erging, and/or cool-down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever watched rowers glide across the water and wondered what it feels like? This summer, find out. Our beginner clinics are the perfect introduction to the sport - no experience necessary, just a willingness to try something new and have fun doing it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This program is designed for first-time rowers who are new to Row Haven and to rowing altogether. You'll learn the fundamentals of the sport in a supportive, encouraging environment with coaches who meet you exactly where you are. After completing one Beginner Rower session you can register for an Experienced Rower session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You'll Work On&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Basic rowing technique and body mechanics&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Water safety and boating fundamentals&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Building comfort and confidence on the water&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Teamwork, communication, and the culture of the sport&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fun Spring Racing Series 2026 (07/02/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p dir="ltr" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Sail Haven's “Fun Spring Racing Series” is the perfect way for members to boost their sailing skills while enjoying some friendly competition. As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required.

The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who This Clinic Is For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;60 minutes – Rowing and fitness on the water (weather permitting)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;20 minutes – Washing and storing equipment&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Final 20 minutes – Snack, group debrief, erging, and/or cool-down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before You Register&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Two items are required to participate:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever watched rowers glide across the water and wondered what it feels like? This summer, find out. Our beginner clinics are the perfect introduction to the sport - no experience necessary, just a willingness to try something new and have fun doing it.&lt;/p&gt;

You'll learn the fundamentals of the sport in a supportive, encouraging environment with coaches who meet you exactly where you are. After completing one Beginner Rower session you can register for an Experienced Rower session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You'll Work On&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Basic rowing technique and body mechanics&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Water safety and boating fundamentals&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Building comfort and confidence on the water&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Teamwork, communication, and the culture of the sport&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required.

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Summer Youth Rowing Clinic for Experienced Rowers: Session 4 (08/17/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;Summer Youth Rowing ClinicFor Experienced Rowers | Grades 6–12&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ready to take your rowing to the next level? These clinics are designed for athletes who already know the basics and want to sharpen their technique, build fitness, and put in real time on the water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who This Clinic Is For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This program is built for experienced rowers who have completed at least one season with Row Haven and can demonstrate solid safety awareness and boating fundamentals. If you know the drills and are ready to do the work, this is your summer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every session runs about two hours, with on-the-water rowing as the priority whenever conditions allow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;First 20 minutes – Drop-off, group check-in, and warm-up&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;60 minutes – Rowing and fitness on the water (weather permitting)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;20 minutes – Washing and storing equipment&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Final 20 minutes – Snack, group debrief, erging, and/or cool-down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before You Register&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be Saturdays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The series will be six Saturdays.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Please "Check in" with the Race Committee when you arrive at the race course.
