PROGRAMS:
Non-Rowing – Members of this program are not eligible to race as OARCA members or access OARCA boats.
Coastal Rowing Supporter 2024-2025 (Non rowing). This program is for those who are interested in being part of the coastal rowing discussion. It is not meant as a rowing program and thus does NOT entitle you row or race for OARCA. It is just for those who want to connect with other coastal rowing enthusiasts. It is only $25 if you are already a member of RCA and RowingBC. If not, you will need to pay those fees as well ($25.75 RowingBC + 27.50 RCA fee ).
Rowing Programs – Members of these program are eligible to access OARCA boats.
- OARCA Rowing Full Membership. This program extends to the end of March, 2025. Members should be experienced rowers and comfortable rowing without a coach or safety boat present. Membership provides you with access to the coastal boats (3, solos, 3 coastal doubles and 2 coastal coxed quads, with oars) stored at the Tulista Coastal Rowing Centre at Tulista Park (Sidney) and launching privileges at the Tulista boat ramp. Members of this program are required to complete an orientation that covers launching, landing, basic safety, and equipment care/handling, and to file a float plan before each row. Members can use any of the OARCA solos or doubles in a regatta without additional charge.
- Punch Card 2024-2025. This punch card is for experienced rowers to enjoy exploring our local waters in coastal boats. The punch card is good for 10 rows, and expires at the end of March, 2025. The first punched row must include an orientation session that covers launching, landing, basic safety, and equipment care/handling, and how to file a float plan before each row. The punch card may not be used for boats at a regatta.
- Punch Card 2024-2025 (Club version). RCA member rowing clubs outside the Greater Victoria area may purchase a standard “Punch Card 2024-2025” to be shared by multiple club members. If interested, contact OARCA for more details at: membership@oarca.org
We look forward to having you join us!
