Private Boat Storage

SDRC is pleased to offer private boat storage to Regular and Young Adult members for those looking to train recreationally and competitively. SDRC has 50 spots that allow for regular use and 22 spots that are for storage and not easily accessible. Usable spots are wall racks and above head racks with cranks to raise and lower. Storage spots are nine to twelve feet high and usually blocked from direct access. At the moment, both spots are $50/month and require an SDRC Regular or Young Adult Membership. If you’d like to inquire about storing a boat at SDRC, please email bhmanager@sandiegorowing.org.

SDRC Private Storage Waiting List – HERE

Due to limited storage space, only those SDRC Regular and Young Adult members in good standing are eligible for the opportunity to store private boats at the boathouse. If the demand for boat storage exceeds the available space, Members may apply to have their equipment added to the waiting list. The list is prioritized as follows:

  1. Boathouse owned equipment
  2. Members with an existing boat spot waiting for a more convenient location
  3. Members whose boat is in a storage rack wishing to be moved to an active rack
  4. Members who want a rack for a new boat
  5. Non-Members who wish to join and bring their equipment

In order to keep members boats accessible, the following requirements are expected:

  1. Rack spaces and their allocation are at the discretion of the SDRC Captain and the Executive Director. 
  2. Rack space does not transfer upon the sale of a boat to a new owner. Be sure that the person, if an SDRC member, understands and discusses this with the Executive Director prior to sale.
  3. If you do not plan to row for 30+ days, please notify the Executive Director as your boat may be temporarily moved to a storage rack to make room for an actively used boat. Those who are in a temporary space will remain on the waiting list for an active rack location.
  4. To maintain your rack space, you must row at least once per month. After 30 days of non-rowing, SDRC may move your boat to a storage rack location.
  5. Rack spaces are available for singles (1x) only and one usable rack space per member.
  6. Storage Spots are at discretion of the SDRC Captain and the Executive Director. 
  7. Members with more than one single and/or a double as of May 2020 are grandfathered into this policy and allowed to keep their current storage.
