Capital Rowing Club welcomes Stämpfli Express
Washington, D.C. (September 24, 2015) – Capital Rowing Club is excited to welcome “the largest rowing shell in the world” this Saturday for an exposition row on the Anacostia River from 1-4pm. The Stämpfli Express consists of 24 rowers and a coxswain, and is over 140 feet in length. The shell is a product of Stämpfli Racing Boats, a Swiss company founded in 1896, and is on a tour of the US, sponsored by Swissnex Boston.
Saturday’s event will cap off a day of racing on the Anacostia River as Capital Rowing Club hosts its annual fall regatta: Head of the Anacostia. Spectators are welcome at the Anacostia Community Boathouse at 1900 M Street SE, Washington DC 20003.
Capital Rowing club appreciates the opportunity to showcase this example of Swiss engineering and innovation, and extends its gratitude to Stämpfli Racing Boats, Swissnex Boston, and the boat’s owner, Mr. Burgin Melch.
