BOATHOUSE COMPLETED AND OPEN!


The grand opening of the Mount Holyoke College Community Boathouse was held on  Sunday April 25th.  We had a wonderful gathering of over 100 folks- alumnae, parents, state and college officials, and of course our wonderful current rowers. Following the opening ceremony, we welcomed our latest racing shell to the fleet. "Antonio Epifano" is our first winged rigger boat and is FLYING. TONI is currently the 4th D3 crew in New England.

You can see some great shots of the opening and the christening at:
