Myers Industries’ Connect-A-Dock Brand Named Official Dock Supplier for Head Of The Charles Regatta
AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 15, 2024--
Myers Industries’ Connect-A-Dock brand has been named Official Dock Supplier for the prestigious Head Of The Charles Regatta (HOCR), the world’s largest rowing event.
For more than two decades, Connect-A-Dock has been a proud supporter of the three-day HOCR, which has been held annually on the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass., since 1965. This year, the regatta takes place Oct. 18 to 20 and is expected to attract more than 12,000 athletes—including many of the world’s best crew teams—along with thousands of spectators.
"Connect-A-Dock is a fantastic partner for the Head Of The Charles Regatta,” said Mason Cox, chief commercial officer for the event. “The docking system allows us to safely launch and land dozens of crews an hour, and we are grateful for the company’s support."
Renowned for their versatility and stability, Connect-A-Dock floating dock systems have long been a trusted choice for regattas, boat houses, and rowing clubs across the United States and Canada. Their modular sections allow for easy reconfiguration, and their low profile ensures a safe, stable platform for rowers and coaches entering and exiting shells.
For 2024, HOCR competitors and fans will experience firsthand the superior performance of Connect-A-Dock. A newly installed 120-foot by 7.5-foot Connect-A-Dock system on the Charles River will serve as the main launching platform for the iconic regatta.
