Coaching Launch Motor

We have our eye on a motor being sold locally to go on the third launch shell the club owns. Having a third coaching launch would be a huge step forward in our ability to field larger teams!

New Boat!
TBD Used 2-/x
- $10,000 (estimate)
The club has already received a lead gift toward purchasing a used double/pair for our teams to use in honor of former KSMC rower Lynn Walker. In the 70s, Lynn went to the Olympic trials in a double, and now he and his wife would like to give back to the club that started his rowing journey.
