A down-burst with over 60mph winds hit our boatyard Tuesday, July 10th. We lost over $100,000 of thousands of dollars in boats, and the ability to hold clinics and get more people excited about rowing in Portland. The financial loss is huge, but emotionally this is a crew that was just starting to take off. PCRA was started in 2009 and is a non-profit 501c3 organization.
