SALT WATER DAY 2026



SALT WATER DAY 2026
Celebrate one of ZLAC Rowing Club’s most cherished traditions with a collector’s piece that blends history, artistry, and unmistakable club spirit. Created exclusively for Salt Water Day 2026, this limited-edition white T-shirt features original artwork by renowned graphic designer Em Burgess, whose bold, whimsical style brings the energy and camaraderie of rowing to life.
Encircling the artwork is a treasured piece of club history: “So let all other craft beware, not try to sail athwart ‘The ZLAC.’” These words are taken directly from the launching of the club’s first barge in 1895, serving as a timeless reminder of the confidence, tradition, and pioneering spirit that have defined ZLAC for generations.
Crafted from soft, breathable cotton, this commemorative T-shirt is as comfortable as it is meaningful. Whether worn on Salt Water Day, at the boathouse, or long after the celebration has passed, it is more than a shirt...it is a wearable tribute to the oldest tradition at ZLAC Rowing Club and to the legacy of the women who continue to make history with every stroke.
Unisex sizing.
