St. John's Rowing Club

🛶 Different Boats. Same Grit. One Quidi Vidi Family. ⚓️

Whether you’re pulling a fixed seat in the Royal St. John’s Regatta or gliding in a sliding-seat shell, we all share the same water and the shared rowing history on the Lake.

To celebrate our 40th Anniversary, we’re inviting the entire St. John’s rowing community—including our friends in the fixed-seat crews—to gear up with our limited-edition anniversary line.

Why fixed-seat crews love our gear:
✅ High-Performance Fabric Options: Perfect for those grueling 5 AM training spins.
✅ Legacy Design: Our special 40th-anniversary logo celebrates the sport we all love.
✅ Support the Lake: Every purchase helps us fund new equipment that keeps the rowing tradition alive and well in Newfoundland.

Show your pride for the sport that defines our city. Let’s look as sharp as our splits this season!
