Village Community Boathouse sent two boats and two varsity crews, The VCB Splonkers & The Hot Cocos, to the Icebreaker, a youth race sponsored by the Hull Lifesaving Museum. In years past, the race was held on the beach in Hull, Massachusetts. However, extreme weather conditions the past two years led to the decision to move the race to the relatively protected Fort Point Channel in Boston. The race was held at the Boston Rowing Center near the Congress Street Bridge and the Boston Tea Party Museum. The VCB boats were unstacked and launched across the harbor at the Boston Navy Yard and then towed over to the Boston Rowing Center.
The VCB Splonkers won the heats in their First Four Varsity division. The Hot Cocos, rowing Whitehall Gig Storm Queen won The Nautical Mile race.
