2019 Results:

Scenes from the venue	Accomplishment
Head of the Charles - Boston Mass	CYC was well represented at the 2019 Head of the Charles Regatta this year. HOC is the premier head race in the world, second only to the Olympics in prestige. Over 10,000 rowers participate and there are an estimated 350,000 spectators over two days. On Saturday the Men's 8 rowed in the Senior Master's 8 event. CYC finished 20th out of 41 which guarantees an entry for next year. This event is handicapped differently than most master's rowing events. Every crew that beat CYC was several years younger. The former Australian Olympic team came in second. Needless to say there was stiff competition and CYC was well represented. Most importantly the entire crew had a great experience and look forward to competing next year.
2019 South East Regional Championship	June 2019: CYC put in another strong performance. Sixteen CYC rowers entered 19 events and took home 13 medals: 4 Gold, 6 silver, and 3 Bronze. Highlights of the event were the Men’s double in the F age group, where CYC's two entries took home gold and silver in a field of six boats. CYC’s mixed 8 (E group), with four men and four women, took gold again, repeating their 2018 performance. Other Golds went to the Mens Quad and the Mens Four (both F-G age group). Overall, CYC came in fifth in terms of points, which is impressive given our 19 entries compared to the top three point recipients who had between 29 and 48 entries
2019 Masters Nationals	August 2019: Thirteen intrepid CYC rowers (and three indispensable ground crew) travelled to Grand Rapids, Michigan to compete in the US Rowing Masters Nationals Regatta which was held from One hundred forty-nine clubs competed in 220 races. In most events, there were so many competitors that there were two or three heats, with only the top 2 or 3 boats in each heat making it to the finals. Some of our rowers were in three or four races a day. CYC came home with 2 silver medals in the Women’s and Men’s Open 4-. In addition, the Women’s 4X took home a bronze medal. Unfortunately, the regatta was cancelled mid-day Sunday. Our boats would have been strong contenders in two additional races.
2019 Head of the South	Nov 2019 the Head of the South Four Races, five medals. That was the story for the last regatta of the season. Fourteen Masters rowers made the trip to Augusta, Georgia for the races. We took gold in the Mens 8, the Mixed 8, and the Men’s Quad. Boats also took silver in the Double and the Men’s Quad. That’s gold and silver in the Men’s Quad.
