Welcome to the Open Water Rowing Center
85 Libertyship Way, Sausalito CA 94965
(415) 332-1091 owrc@owrc.com
The Rowing Center, founded in 1985, provides open water sculls for use by members, rental by non-members (after a proficiency test), boat storage for shell owners, and instruction in both flat and rough water rowing. Our location allows easy access to open waters around Belvedere, Tiberon, Angel and Alcatraz Islands, as well as flat water rowing on the (usually) protected waters of Richardson Bay and Mill Valley Creek.
We are a dealer for the Maas Boat Company, keep a listing of used shells for sale by owners, and will order oars from several manufacturers. OWRC also stocks clothing from JL Designs and Hind as well as an assortment of books on rowing.
To get an idea of life around the boathouse look at "The Log", "Photos", and "Newsletters" sections of this site. We are open 362 mornings a year and always welcome your visit.
