I currently row both singles and sweep row in 8s on the Charles River. I will be in Vermont, not far from Dartmouth College, in late July and would like to know of a community boathouse on the Connecticuit River near Dartmouth.

I don't know any up to date info; but back in the early 80s the only thing was the Dartmouth Rowing Club's facility. They did have open membership though (it was about $20 for the summer then) and I think stored some individual's boats as well as club boats. I'd contact them (I don't know how, sorry) and ask; if they don't have space they could direct you.

Dear Pamela,

I have no specific information on rowing near Dartmouth, but I do know of an excellent source for information of that type. Contact The Rower's Almanac. This annual publication contains a wealth of info for the travelling rower and lists clubs and facilities all around the world. You can contact them at www.rowersalmanac.com or phone 301 520 8066. Good luck.

Yours,

Andre
