Rental Equipment: If you are coming from out of town and need to rent equipment to use on race day, please contact our Guest Services Coordinator, at stonewallguests@dcstrokes.org. We will provide you with contact information for local clubs that will rent shells to you for the event.

Payment and insurance arrangements are between you or your club and the club or individual renting out the equipment. Stonewall Regatta, nor DCSRC, will not assume any responsibility for or liability resulting from these arrangements. Payment is generally on a per seat basis and rates are reasonable.

Accommodations: If you are looking for host housing or recommendations for a hotel in DC, please contact our Guest Services Coordinator at stonewallguests@dcstrokes.org. The Coordinator can provide local hotel information or secure host housing with members of DC Strokes Rowing Club.

Safety: Safety is always the number one concern at our event. We have been fortunate to have very few mishaps at Stonewall Regatta, and that is because of your commitment to safety. This year we ask that participants come prepared to have a good time, but also to observe USRowing rules and general etiquette at all times. The facilities are tight, so please keep this in mind when moving about the site, especially in front of the boathouse and at the docks.

Insurance: Please be sure your equipment is appropriately insured before race day. We do not require proof of insurance. Our regatta insurance does not cover your equipment.

Equipment: All shells, including sculls, should have bow clips to accommodate lane number markers. Please make sure that all shoes are properly tied down with less than 3 inches of free-movement on the heel. On race day, please be sure to make all necessary equipment adjustments prior to launching. These things will help us move the lines at the dock efficiently and will reduce unnecessary delays.

Saturday Night Boat Storage: If your plans require you to arrive the day before the regatta, we will attempt to assist you with storing your boats. Storage will be at your own risk. DC Strokes Rowing Club cannot be held responsible for mishaps.

Parking: Directions to Thompson Boat Center are available online at http://www.thompsonboatcenter.com/direct.htm.  Parking facilities at Thompson Boat Center are limited. Parking meters are available near the boathouse on K Street and Virginia Avenue.  Where possible, please plan to carpool to the site as space may be limited. Trailer parking will be available in the Thompson Boat Center parking lot.

Contact: Please contact Stonewall Logistics Coordinator  if you have any questions.
