Resolute

Resolute is a boatmaker in our area and have been supportive of NBCR from the beginning. We haven't rowed any of their boats but they have come to several of our events and always check in to see how we're doing. Resolutes are great racing shells and I personally enjoy them.

I got a call from Jeff Sturges, President of Resolute, and he said that he had someone contact them wanting to help us. A donor has agreed to make up the difference in the price between any new boat we wanted to buy, and the cost of a Resolute, and on top of that, go $1000 lower. So, if we found a Vespoli 8+ for say, $32,000, this donor would give the difference between $31,000 and the cost of a new Resolute, which is closer to $40,000.

That's very generous of this donor, however we're just not in a position to purchase a new boat just yet. That doesn't mean that we can't start a capital campaign working toward a new boat though! I'm just very pleased that there are people out there doing what they can to help NBCR get off the ground running. Thank you to all of our amazing supporters out there!!!
