Northern California Crew is a competitive rowing club for high school and junior high school students. The team rows out of the Port of Redwood City at 1450 Maple St, Redwood City California, 94063. Northern California Crew has 30 racing shells, 5 coach’s launches, 2 trucks and 2 boat trailers. Our Vespoli racing shells include V1s, M2s, and Millenniums. These are the same boats used by top collegiate, U.S. and International Olympic crews.
History
Northern California Crew is the result of a merger of Silicon Valley Crew and Bair Island Aquatic Crew. In the interests of developing a larger and highly competitive program the two crews decided to combine their resources and athletes. The athletes chose to name the new program Northern California Crew, NORCAL Crew for short.
Our mission
Crew is a team sport. It fosters a sense of team spirit, helping athletes develop both physical and mental toughness and broadening their horizons as they learn to trust and support others, while establishing their own sense of confidence and commitment. Those who stay with the sport generally remember it as a highlight in their lives. Crew is a lifelong sport with participants who row well into their seventies at masters regattas held throughout the country.
