PWR Mission
The mission of Portland Women’s Rowing is to promote competitive masters women’s rowing in the Portland metro area, in an atmosphere of integrity, camaraderie, and respect for our fellow athletes and the greater rowing community. Our objective is to produce the fastest masters women's crews possible, under the direction of the best coaching available. Our goal is to encourage experienced master’s women rowers to achieve excellence in the sport and to support the local rowing community.
PWR Members
Our rowing experience ranges from a couple of years to decades. Most of us also scull. Currently we range in age from 23 to 64. We are a Master's Club, but we welcome all experienced women rowers over 18 years old. (Because we understand that rowing can be hard to afford for those who are just entering the workforce, we provide a flexible dues arrangement for rowers under the age of 27.)
PWR Location
Portland Women's Rowing rows out of the Portland Boathouse, located in the RiverEast Building, 1515 SE Water Street, at the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge on the corner of SE Clay and SE Water Streets. Click here for detailed directions via mapquest. Portland Boathouse has private shower facilities, making it easy for rowers to head straight from water to work, when necessary.
PWR Equipment
We row a VespoliM2 8+ and a VespoliM2 4+/4x. Several club members own doubles and singles as well.
PWR History
PWR was established in January 2006 and set up 'home' in the Portland Boathouse, located on the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge. Some of us came from other rowing clubs in Portland and others came back to rowing for the first time since leaving college. We also attracted some experienced rowers relocating to the Portland area. PWR has had remarkable success for a new and small club, finishing in the top three places of most races that we enter.
