The Mosman Rowing Club (MRC) is the home of still water rowing on the North Shore, and home of some of the best rowing water in Sydney, albeit, early in the morning.
The MRC, based at Pearl Bay, Mosman is the main rowing centre for some 450 rowers, including elite, seniors, juniors, masters, recreational, school rowers and it houses over 100 rowing boats at the facility.
It also has a second rowing facility at Killarney Heights, off Killarney Drive, for sculling and rowing camps with accommodation for 20.
MRC's Head and Elite Coach, Nick Garratt, who has an extensive Olympic and World Rowing track record, is supported by six other coaching staff to keep MRC at the top of elite rowing in Australia.
The MRC is self-funding by memberships, lease arrangements to schools and private members and ongoing fundraising activities.
MRC has had representatives in the vast majority of World Rowing Championship and Olympic Games Rowing teams over its history (founded in 1873) and will continue this tradition through its increased commitment to elite rowing and supporting its athletes.
Four of its current members represented Australia in Athens 2004 Olympic Games in Greece in 2004, a number of which are hard at training for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, hopefully to compete along with a numbers of our young hopefuls.
