Last week, the Navy awarded a nearly $14 million contract for the renovation of Hubbard Hall. Federally appropriated funds will provide redesigned and expanded locker rooms for all three Navy Crew programs (heavies, lightweights, women), more efficiently engineered boat storage areas, training rooms, and a state-of-the-art rowing tank for off-water training. Preparations for the project will start immediately, with actual work on the building scheduled to commence in early summer. The project is expected to take 12-18 months, and when complete, Navy’s boathouse will rival those of the other elite rowing programs in the nation.

While the Navy LWs and Yale HWs will train on their home courses, all other squads will find competition on the road this weekend with exciting racing, traditional rivalries and lots of classic silver at stake.

* On the Charles River in Cambridge #1 and undefeated Yale LW 1V will face #2 and once defeated {by Navy in the Joe Murtaugh Cup} #2 Princeton and #8 Harvard in competition for the oldest trophy in LW rowing — the Vincent Bowditch Goldthwait Cup {1918}. Yale last won in 2006, with Harvard winning four of the last five HYP contests. Princeton’s last 1V victory came in 1999. The Bulldog, Tiger and Crimson squads will also compete overall for the David H. Vogel Cup. Yale last won in 2006, with Harvard winning three of the last five Vogel Cups. Yale won the initial competition in 2003. Dave Vogel and Tom Weil will be at the race, so we will look forward to on-site insight.

Navy W won the 2V and V4+ at the Patriot League Championships today on the Cooper River and tied Bucknell for the team trophy. However with a decisive open-water (15 second) victory in the 1V over the Mids, Bucknell won the tie-breaker and took home the silver. In challenge racing, the Mids also won the Novice 8+ and 2V4+. Navy’s varsity boat will travel to Seattle this coming weekend to take part in the Winderemere Cup/Opening Day Regatta.
