The Rowing Repair Center can aid you in the pick up and delivery of your rowing shell, and will work hard to make your shell transportation smooth and hassle-free. Shells are often long (60 ft+) and require several people to lift them on and off the trailer. For this reason, transportation is discussed upon receipt of the Request for Quote, so that all parties can arrange for a successful hand off.

There are typically two ways to transport your shell(s):

1. Arrange for The Rowing Repair Center to handle your pick up and/or delivery. The Center can transport singles, doubles, and fours with the RRC van in some instances. The Rowing Repair Center can also arrange for a ride for your shell with a commercial or other crew carrier, provided adequate notice is provided. (Extra charges may apply).

2. You provide the pick up and delivery, using your trailer and your crew. Make sure to schedule with The Rowing Repair Center several days ahead so they can put you on the Transport Schedule. (Remember, one driver cannot lift an eight alone, so you must bring adequate help).

Many times, crews are traveling through East Tennessee, on their way to spring training (in Florida, for example), or to attend one of the many regattas and rowing events in Oak Ridge. With a little planning, drop off and pick up can be easy. To take advantage of this convenience, schedule your drops to coincide with your next regatta.
