About

The Bermuda Rowing Association (BRA) was founded in 2004 at the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club (RHADC) by a group of experienced rowers who shared a passion for developing and growing rowing as a sport in Bermuda.

In its early days, the BRA began with just three T-7 Hudson boats. In 2007, the Association secured additional space on White’s Island, providing a permanent base from which the club could grow and expand its fleet.

Today, the BRA offers a diverse fleet of rowing shells, including singles, doubles, quads, and coastal boats, providing opportunities for both recreational and competitive rowers.

The support and contributions of our members have been central to the BRA’s success throughout its history. Over the years, members such as Jim Watts have generously donated boats, time, expertise, and services, helping to strengthen the Association and support the wider rowing community in Bermuda.

The BRA’s history is ultimately a story of people who have given their time, energy, resources, and passion to keep rowing thriving in Bermuda.
