ROCKING MANHATTAN - Regatta & Barbecue Party. Our team leader John Joseph Hopkins '05, former captain of the Yale Crew Team, will lead a crew of Yale Alumni boats for a day long rowing adventure around the island of Manhattan. Come and help Team Yale row to victory! Rowers will compete to benefit a great organization, Rocking the Boat, in collaboration with the Downtown Community Boathouse.

The day will culminate in a fabulous and fun filled afternoon Barbecue Party at Pier 40 (Houston Street and the Hudson River) with great food and drinks, terrific educational activities for kids and adults to learn about boat building, river life, and all things aquatic, and short boat rides on hand built wooden rowboats. To attend the tailgating party, we are asking for contributions in the form of a pledge donation to sponsor either a Yale boat or rower, all proceeds to benefit Rocking the Boat.

We are looking for volunteers to help run this event, as well as rowers for the regatta, and participants/donors to come and join the fun. The day has several segments as follows:
Morning Shift 8 AM to 10 AM: (Hallet's Cove, East River, Long Island City, Queens) Looking for eight volunteers to help serve breakfast to the rowers
Lunch Shift 11 AM to 1 PM:(At Swindlers Cove, Harlem River) Ten volunteers are needed to help serve lunch to the rowers.
Afternoon Barbeque Party, 3 to 6 PM: At Pier 40, Houston Street & Hudson River, downtown Manhattan: Twenty volunteers are needed to help organize and run the party, which will be a spectacular event for the whole family.

We are also looking for ROWERS to compete for Team Yale in hand-built wooden rowboats around Manhattan. The row is 26 miles and will be split into two shifts: a morning 5 hour shift and a 3 hour afternoon shift. Previous rowing experience is NOT required, but you would need to be reasonably fit. You will need to attend a rowing orientation prior to the event which will be on a weekday evening.

This will be a fun event for the whole family - you can volunteer, row, or just come to cheer on the Yale rowers.
