Thank You for Celebrating with Us!

What a wonderful celebration of another incredible year at Cohasset Maritime Institute! Our 2nd Annual Harborside Bash brought together members, friends, and supporters at the beautiful Cohasset Sailing Club for an afternoon of friendship, food, music, and fundraising.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated, participated in our silent auction (both in person and online!), or helped make the event possible.

Special thanks to our guest speaker Anne Zetteck-Sumner, our young helpers Alec and Coleton Vlasak, the Harborside Bash Committee, our generous auction donors and volunteers, Frank Townsend, and the CMI Board of Directors.

With a record-breaking year of rowing behind us, we're especially grateful for the community that makes it all possible.

Thank you for supporting CMI and for being part of something so special! 💙

Join Us for CMI's 2nd Annual Harborside Bash!

For more than 30 years, Cohasset Maritime Institute has brought people together through coastal rowing, creating opportunities, building confidence, and fostering a stronger, more connected community.

Join us on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 4:00 PM, at the Cohasset Sailing Club for a special waterfront evening celebrating all we've accomplished together—and the exciting possibilities ahead!

Enjoy cocktails, a delicious buffet, and soft background music performed by one of our very own CMI coxswains. Browse and bid on our silent auction items while enjoying wonderful company in a beautiful harborside setting.

Meet Our Guest Speaker: Anne Zettek-Sumner

A self-described product of central Massachusetts, Anne grew up believing adventure meant venturing into the woods during raging blizzards with her younger brother tied to her waist. Today, her idea of adventure involves people who barely know one another climbing into carbon-fiber boats and racing as though lightning were on the horizon!

Anne discovered rowing around 2005 after moving to the shores of Lake Quinsigamond and joining the Quinsigamond Rowing Club, where she learned to scull and cox. Rowing introduced her to the joys of team sports—unless, as she likes to point out, marching band counts!

Her experience, humor, and passion for rowing make her a wonderful addition to an evening celebrating the power of our rowing community.

Celebrating Our Community. Investing in Our Future.

From youth and adult rowing to inclusive programs welcoming individuals of all abilities and backgrounds, CMI continues to make a meaningful difference on and off the water.

Your presence and continued support help keep this vision moving forward. Come celebrate with us and be part of what comes next!

A special evening. A shared purpose. Together we shape the future of CMI.
