A rowing club on The Esplanade in Petone, Lower Hutt, with its water on the Wellington harbour side of the Hutt Valley. The club was established in 1900, and its colours today are fluorescent yellow tops with black shorts. It offers learn-to-row, novice, club, senior and masters memberships. The novice squad teaches the basics in a supportive setting. The club squad is for rowers with some experience who want to refine their skills in a competitive setting. The masters squad is for rowers aged 27 and over who want to stay active and socialise. Expert coaching is part of membership, and the club's waterfront views are one of its draws. The club has a long history of champions, including a New Zealand Premier Championship Eights win in 1977. It has also had a long relationship with schools and their pupils who want to row, including St Bernard's College, which rowed from the club for several years from 1982.
