We are one of only a handful of currach clubs in the country and we need more rowers to help us keep the tradition of currach rowing alive in New London county.

Whether you want to have fun, meet new friends, travel to regattas, or experience the rewards of being a member of a unique club; this is the activity for you!

The New London Currach Rowers Club holds regular practices on the Thames River.opposite Stash's Cafe. on Pequot Ave. Thursdays at 5:45 p.m. and Saturdays at 9 a.m.

All skill levels are welcome, but regular participation is encouraged, as this is a team sport.
