John,
I was looking at the HOCR page and saw most of teams had their colorful team blades shown alongside their names but RowAlong doesn't have a blade. Is that something that is particular to the RegattaCentral registration page? Anybody know how to get one?

Ah, I've just emailed them a design. Hopefully they'll add it and then it'll be available for everyone to use. Either someone else has already added RowAlong as a team, or I did it ages ago and have since totally forgotten. But it is there for you to pick - and hopefully the blade design will arrive soon.

I'll be excited to row with our new RA oars! When I registered it looked like there were 4 or 5 of us from RA who would be racing the HOCR.

The RowAlong blade is now available! So make sure to set your team to RowAlong. It popped up automatically for me - but I don't know if that happens for everyone.
