Community Rowing extends long-term partnership with RegattaCentral

RegattaCentral, the leading provider of online registration and management solutions for the sport of rowing, is proud to announce the continuation of its established partnership with Community Rowing Inc. (CRI); a long-standing relationship that has fostered innovation and growth within the rowing community.

Since its establishment in 1985 as the inaugural public access rowing club in Boston, CRI has expanded to become one of the nation's premier and most identifiable rowing institutions. Embracing both novice rowers and seasoned athletes, by offering programming that embodies diversity, belonging and respect, personal growth, and resilience. Serving as an example of excellence and demonstrating long-term partnerships with their community, CRI strives to promote community and innovation within the sport.

It’s their shared goal of promoting innovation that has steered the partnership between RegattaCentral and CRI for over a decade. Most recently, they worked together to integrate a new Logbook Reservation feature, formerly known as “iRowNow”. This web-based boat reservation software, released last year, that the scullers and coaches at CRI leverage to ensure the efficient use of equipment, allowing them to maximize their time on the water. As they look to the future, RegattaCentral and CRI are excited to repeat this model of innovation to reach milestones that will revolutionize membership and information management practices within the sport.

“We are excited to leverage the nimble reporting and data management RegattaCentral provides as the importance of measuring our programs’ velocity and volume increases into the future. ” CRI Executive Director Ted Benford shared and continued to summarize the partnership by saying: “We appreciate RegattaCentral’s responsiveness to our needs and look forward to the bright future.”

An outlook on the future of our partnership and the sport as whole that is shared by the team at RegattaCentral.

"We are thrilled to reaffirm our longtime partnership with CRI. At RegattaCentral, we are especially grateful for partners like CRI that continually work to bring the sport to more people and are eager to work with us to foster ongoing innovation." said Steve Lopez, Founder and President of RegattaCentral. "Our ongoing alliance with CRI underscores our dedication to supporting the growth and accessibility of rowing, empowering athletes of all levels to thrive on and off the water. Together, we look forward to continuing to elevate the rowing experience at CRI and worldwide.”

RegattaCentral looks forward to continuing its work and partnership with Community Rowing Inc., which will allow both organizations to drive innovation, foster growth, and strengthen the rowing community. Together, they aim to build a brighter future for the sport, where opportunities abound, and every individual has the chance to pursue their passion for rowing.
