On Saturday, April 15, the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s signature rowing race, the 42nd annual Snow Row, takes place at the Windmill Point Boathouse. The race was originally scheduled for March 11, but weather conditions forced its postponement until this weekend. With its one-of-a-kind, LeMans-style start, the race covers a 3-3/4 mile triangular course starting and ending off the beach.

The Race: Check-in: 9-11 a.m.; Coxswains Meeting at 11 a.m.; Race Starts at noon.

Spectators gather to share in the excitement of the wild and woolly start, unpredictable weather, and gathering of gorgeous boats and athletes (more than 100 boats are participating!). Entirely within view of the boathouse, the event is as much of a thrill for spectators as for participants – a rare opportunity to see, up close, rowers of all ages from all over New England, New York, and along the East Coast, and their stunning array of wooden pulling boats: peapods, dories, wherries, whitehalls, pilot gigs, captain’s gigs and Irish currachs.

Spectator Boat: Back by popular demand, the Snow Row Spectator Boat is a perfect way to follow the Snow Row from start to finish. Boarding begins at 11 a.m. at Pemberton Pier, with the boat shoving off at 11:45 a.m. to witness the one-of-a-kind LeMans racing start. Spectator boat tickets ($20 each) are available online or available on race day at the pier.

The Museum: When the excitement of the Snow Row is completed, stop by the Hull Lifesaving Museum, which will be open throughout the day with free admission to view lifesaving exhibits and collections.
