Whether it's a yoga class on our club grounds, language classes with an hour on the boat to learn the rudder terms, the assignment of a holiday home or a cooking class - there are no limits to your imagination. Send your ideas and suggestions for implementation auktion@mrc1880.de.

Looking back into the Blue 2025

Nine participants of the MRC1880 participated in the rowing adventure ‘Fahrt ins Blaue’ organised by Hellmuth – here is a report:

Beginning of the cold water season on 1.11.2025

The cold season is coming, and with it the need to go on the water with a safety vest. So remember that you check your safety vests in time and, if necessary, have them wait before you have to use them from 1 November.
