Rowing for Glory – The San Diego Crew Classic

The San Diego Crew Classic brings high school, collegiate and Masters-level rowers to beautiful Mission Bay each April for a weekend of top-flight competition.

The best rowers in the United States line Crown Point Shores every April for the largest exclusively eight-oared regatta in the world – the San Diego Crew Classic. The annual event draws top amateur rowers from premier university rowing programs and draws thousands of spectators and alumni to the sandy beaches and sparkling waters of Mission Bay in San Diego for two days of competitive races and related events.

The San Diego Crew Classic includes junior-varsity and varsity collegiate divisions as well as junior, club and masters’ races. In each event, eight rowers and a coxswain (who steers) work in unison to race their shell through 2,000 meters of water as quickly as possible. To win, crew members must work together to sync their motions and maintain balance, speed and a consistent and smooth forward motion. Even though the rowing may seem simple on the surface, crew involves complex, full-body movements that requires maximum effort and precise skill.

The Crew Classic is more than just a rowing regatta. The event is heralded as one of the top races in the sport, and the beautiful setting along the San Diego shoreline only enhances the experience. Couple that with perfect weather, sunny skies, stunning sunsets, awesome food trucks, craft brews and plenty of smiles and it’s easy to see why the San Diego Crew Classic is a must-do each spring.

San Diego is a city known for its perfect weather, beautiful beaches, warm sunshine and vibrant city life, but it is also a military town at heart. That’s why we are so proud to be permanent home to the iconic U.S.S. Midway, one of the most distinguished aircraft carriers in the history of the United States Navy. Once utilized as one of the longest-serving aircraft carriers in the Navy, the U.S.S. Midway was commissioned in 1945, one week after World War II ended and was decommissioned in 1992 – following a stint of more than 47 years of service.

Today, the U.S.S. Midway Museum is one of the most popular tourist destinations in downtown San Diego. Over the years, the aircraft carrier has been meticulously and lovingly restored and now greets guests young and old who want to take a glimpse into America’s rich naval history. The museum presents a variety of events and activities throughout the year. Tours include the sleeping quarters of ordinary soldiers, the mess hall, officers’ quarters, engine room, the brig, chapel, and even the laundry room. Visitors end the tour on the flight deck, where 29 restored aircraft are proudly on display.
