Steinwachs Family Boathouse to Be Dedicated During Homecoming Weekend

"For the first time ever, our team is able to gather indoors, and the new house protects our full fleet of rowing shells from the weather," Welling said.

"And the warmth of a heated bathroom feels incredible after a cold morning on the water!"

Welling says the passion and work ethic of Bowdoin's rowers, coupled with the generosity of the program's many supporters, have yielded many successes in recent years.

"Bowdoin has been well represented on a national and international stage, with gold medal wins at the Head of the Charles, New England Rowing Championships, and Dad Vail Regatta and trips abroad to the Women's Henley and Royal Henley regattas in England," he said, adding that spring 2025 was another season for the record books.

"Bowdoin traveled with fifty-two athletes to the American Collegiate Rowing Association (ACRA) National Championships in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Highlight finishes included bronze medals for the men's varsity four, women's novice eight, and women's varsity eight. The Bowdoin women highlighted their team depth with a gold medal win in the second varsity eight event, their second win at the national championships, and the team's second overall national championship points total win."
