Two days after earning a club record number of spots at US Rowing Youth Nationals in June, coaches watched as a 50 year old large red oak tree fell on our main boat trailer crushing the top rails. Fortunately, no one was hurt (other than the trailer) and no boats were lost. We have refurbished the rails since, but are in dire need of replacing it completely to ensure our fleet is safe during transport.

The Westerville Crew boat trailer that has been smashed by a fallen tree.

Replacing our trailer isn't part of our budget, so we're asking for help from our community. We're accepting donations toward the replacement cost and appreciate any and all assistance. The new trailer will be able to safely transport the number of boats we need to local, national, and sometimes international (Canada) competitions! On top of this, trailer technology has advanced and a new "side-loader" would significantly reduce our loading and unloading times!

No amount is too small and every little bit helps. We sincerely appreciate your help and generosity.
