In 1994, the old boathouse was destroyed by an arsonist. Through the efforts of a highly motivated group of parents, coaches, and a huge number of new masters members, the boathouse was rebuilt on Lexington Reservoir. Without missing a single season, this group built a temporary boathouse of storage containers while they rushed about acquiring loans, grants and donations. Within two years the land, building and boats had all been acquired – one day before the time expired for the temporary boathouse to be dismantled.
