RBC is a 501(c)3 masters (adult) community rowing club that offers Learn-to-Row and Learn-to-Scull classes as well as team sweep rowing, and classes for novice and experienced scullers. Rochester Boat Club’s mission is improving health and fitness and promoting athletic competition.
RBC recently applied for a NYS Canal Corporation capital grant to be used for the planned boathouse development. The award of this grant is expected in the fall of this year and contracted development to start in 2016.
