The 2012 college racing season is officially in the books, and though there were no huge upsets at the IRA this year, there was no lack of impressive racing. It was great to see so many of our customers walking away with hardware. In fact, when we tallied up the medal count, there were actually [...]
This past weekend marked the end of the school year racing calendar with the USRowing Youth Nationals in Oak Ridge, TN. A special thanks to all the coaches and crews who raced in our boats – we’re tremendously thankful to have such great (and fast!) customers. Medaling this year was: 1st: Cincinnati Juniors, Men’s Lightweight [...]
What an exciting week so far – both the IRA Rowing Championship and NCAA Rowing Championship invitees were announced, which means there are a lot of really happy and really unhappy rowers out there. (Hopefully you’re one of the happy ones.) In case you missed the Selection Show, the invited teams are: Brown, California, Cornell, [...]
Pretty much every rowing college had a make-or-break weekend this past May 11-13 with crews lining up for ten different regional championships. Twitter has become a lifeline for college rowing coaches and fans – with teams, regatta organizers, and row2k tweeting results in practically real-time, there’s no need to wait until Monday morning to see [...]
Another San Diego Crew Classic is in the books, and the opportunity to race against other conference crews (and the resulting polls shuffle) proves that it’s a race that many varsity rowing programs take seriously. Both the UCLA women and Navy men saw the biggest jumps in their respective rankings after their varsity 8′s turned [...]

We’re honored to be a Regatta sponsor as well as the [...]

Kenney The Head of the Hooch has grown quite a bit since its humble beginnings; it’s practically a must-race addition to the fall schedule. Despite the fact that the Pocock shop is 2000 [...]
Congrats to the University of Wisconsin Men’s Champ 4 – Second Win in Three Years, and the 1980 Rowing Club – Fourth Straight Win in the Senior Master Men’s 4! Another Charles is in the books – we’ll remember the blue skies and swimming-pool-sized puddle behind our booth. Just goes to show, no matter what [...]
Perhaps you saw our blog post from a few months ago, announcing that we were offering free service, repairs, and boat cleanings for our customers at the Crew Classic this year. Bill decided it was important to do for a few reasons. He wanted everyone who works at Pocock Racing Shells to understand how important [...]
Another Crew Classic kicked off the spring racing season this past weekend. The weather was perfect, the wind was (mostly) calm, and there were a whole lot of white boats there. In fact, 60% of Division I Women’s medals were won in a Pocock Racing Shell, and over 60% of Division I women’s grand and [...]
