A 15 1/2 mile circumnavigation of the Island of Jamestown, RI
May 12, 2012
Post Mortem
We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers, board members, sponsors and competitors who have made the JCR a great event. We have decided to take a break this year and not run an official regatta. We will re-group over the winter and figure out what direction to go in next year but all signs point to a new location on Narragansett Bay. Check here for more info in the near future.
We will be having an informal event on the 18th of August. Please contact Dan if you'd like more info.
Narragansett Bay, with its breathtaking views, beautiful rocky shorelines and challenging waters, is an ideal venue for an open water rowing and paddling race. The Counter Revolution Course goes one full counter-revolution around the main island of Jamestown from Mackerel Cove to the Pavilion at Fort Getty. With a distance of over 15 miles and a course that is not as straight forward as it seems, paddlers and rowers will have their mettle tested by irregular surf, navigation and variable currents throughout race.
We've put together what we think is an outstanding event complete with a post-race party, great food, entertainment, massage for all competitors and great awards for our winners at the Fort Getty Pavilion.
Please join us for the race and stay for a while to enjoy Rhode Island during the most beautiful time of the year!
A nod to our very generous sponsors without whom, this event wouldn't be possible
