      <title>Fun Summer Racing Series 2026 (07/09/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p dir="ltr" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Sail Haven's “Fun Summer Racing Series” is the perfect way for members to boost their sailing skills while enjoying some friendly competition. As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Ready to take your rowing to the next level? These clinics are designed for athletes who already know the basics and want to sharpen their technique, build fitness, and put in real time on the water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who This Clinic Is For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This program is built for experienced rowers who have completed at least one season with Row Haven and can demonstrate solid safety awareness and boating fundamentals. If you know the drills and are ready to do the work, this is your summer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every session runs about two hours, with on-the-water rowing as the priority whenever conditions allow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;First 20 minutes – Drop-off, group check-in, and warm-up&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;60 minutes – Rowing and fitness on the water (weather permitting)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;20 minutes – Washing and storing equipment&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Final 20 minutes – Snack, group debrief, erging, and/or cool-down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before You Register&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Two items are required to participate:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever watched rowers glide across the water and wondered what it feels like? This summer, find out. Our beginner clinics are the perfect introduction to the sport - no experience necessary, just a willingness to try something new and have fun doing it.&lt;/p&gt;

You'll learn the fundamentals of the sport in a supportive, encouraging environment with coaches who meet you exactly where you are. After completing one Beginner Rower session you can register for an Experienced Rower session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You'll Work On&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Basic rowing technique and body mechanics&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Water safety and boating fundamentals&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Building comfort and confidence on the water&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Teamwork, communication, and the culture of the sport&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Wear proper foot gear for the beach - sailing boots, surf shoes, old sneakers, tevas..... &lt;strong&gt;No Flip flops, No slides, NO BARE FEET!&lt;/strong&gt; There can be sharp object in the sand at the spit. Some natural, like Oysters, and some man made like glass, metal... We will &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; allow folks to leave their vessels with out the proper foot gear. Foot gear must be positively strapped to you feet. Crocs are OK if they have the heel straps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Community Open House (07/26/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come Play on the Water with Us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're opening our doors for a free day of fun on New Haven Harbor. Come try rowing in the morning and sailing in the afternoon!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morning Rowing Fun: 9am - noon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try rowing a boat, paddling a kayak, or joining others in a dragon boat! Never done it before? No problem! We'll show you how it works, both on land and water. Kids need to be at least 9 years old to join in and must be accompanied by an adult.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Afternoon Sailing Adventure: 1pm - 4pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want to go sailing? Our friendly volunteers will take you out for a sail around the harbor. Kids 5 and older can sail with their parents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Bring:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;A water bottle&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Sunscreen&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Hat or sunglasses&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Extra clothes (you might get splashed!)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A towel&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Your own life jacket if you have one (especially for kids - we have some but not many kid sizes)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quick Tip: If you're coming for rowing or paddling in the morning, wear clothes that aren't too loose or baggy - they can get caught in the equipment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everything else you need will be right here. Just show up ready to have fun on the water!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;Summer Youth Rowing Clinic For Beginner Rowers | Grades 6–12&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever watched rowers glide across the water and wondered what it feels like? This summer, find out. Our beginner clinics are the perfect introduction to the sport - no experience necessary, just a willingness to try something new and have fun doing it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who This Clinic Is For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This program is designed for first-time rowers who are new to Row Haven and to rowing altogether. You'll learn the fundamentals of the sport in a supportive, encouraging environment with coaches who meet you exactly where you are. After completing one Beginner Rower session you can register for an Experienced Rower session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You'll Work On&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Basic rowing technique and body mechanics&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Water safety and boating fundamentals&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Building comfort and confidence on the water&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Teamwork, communication, and the culture of the sport&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a Typical Day Looks Like&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every session runs about two hours, with on-the-water rowing as the priority whenever conditions allow.&lt;/p&gt;

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required. Scores may or may not be recorded!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be on Thursdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The Spring Series will include 6 evenings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Community Open House (08/16/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come Play on the Water with Us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're opening our doors for a free day of fun on New Haven Harbor. Come try rowing in the morning and sailing in the afternoon!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morning Rowing Fun: 9am - noon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try rowing a boat, paddling a kayak, or joining others in a dragon boat! Never done it before? No problem! We'll show you how it works, both on land and water. Kids need to be at least 9 years old to join in and must be accompanied by an adult.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Afternoon Sailing Adventure: 1pm - 4pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want to go sailing? Our friendly volunteers will take you out for a sail around the harbor. Kids 5 and older can sail with their parents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Bring:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;A water bottle&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Sunscreen&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Hat or sunglasses&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Extra clothes (you might get splashed!)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A towel&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Your own life jacket if you have one (especially for kids - we have some but not many kid sizes)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quick Tip: If you're coming for rowing or paddling in the morning, wear clothes that aren't too loose or baggy - they can get caught in the equipment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everything else you need will be right here. Just show up ready to have fun on the water!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We do ask that if you race with us, you "Check In" with the Race Committee boat.&amp;nbsp; This will allow us to record who is racing with us.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.canaldock.org/resources/Pictures/DSC_0580%20(1).jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin: 15px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

As you navigate around other boats and master the racecourse, you'll find your sailing becoming more instinctive. Whether you're teaming up or competing against friends, the thrill of the race is undeniable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;And even if you don't win, those moments of brilliance on the water can be incredibly satisfying. We’ll be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"&gt;, again no experience required.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Racing will be Saturdays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm we will run as many races as possible, so please come, even if you are late. The series will be six Saturdays.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;No RSVP required to race - just show up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
