Tues & Thurs- 5:30 a.m. & 6:45 a.m.
Sat. 6 a.m.
The training is geared to help prep for races with modification available for individuals but there is no set racing
calendar for the sculling group.Typically, training leads up to Masters Nationals and the Head of the Charles as well
as some local races.However, if you are interested in racing, the only obstacle is your desire and willingness to travel.
The sculling group is coached by Jeff Forrester.Jeff started rowing at Mathews HS in
Mathews, VA where he first learned to scull.He went on to row at Rutgers University for
four years- three as a heavyweight, one as a lightweight.His senior year culminated in a
second place finish at the IRAs in the Varsity lightweight 8+.After college, Jeff returned
home to VA and rowed with Mobjack Rowing Assoc over the summers and coached high
school rowing for 3 years before returning to serious training when he joined RBC in the
fall of 2003.While rowing for RBC, he won numerous medals at Elite and Club
nationals, Canadian Henley, and the Head of the Charles as well as making the 2007 US
National Team in the lightweight 8+.After wrapping up his rowing career in 2008, Jeff
took on the sculling group in the spring of 2009 and brings over 16 years of rowing
experience to the sculling group and loves every minute of it
A diverse group of both skill level and ages, the sculling group provides an avenue of instruction and coaching for
those who wish to improve their sculling ability as well as fitness while not being constrained to a team’s more rigid
schedule.The training is geared to improve racing skills as well as overall technical prowess while still keeping
things light and fun.The attendance is purely up to the individual as the training plan is posted both at the
boathouse and online for anyone who wishes to follow.Most participants attend in singles, both private and club
although doubles are not excluded by any means.The only strict criterion is to be prompt to the start of the session.
