City Manager '
Miami City Commission
13500 Pan American Drive
Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Mr. Odio:
Extensive plans are well underway, as you are aware, to bring an
international rowing regatta to South Florida next January. The
1989 World Rowing Marathon will be the first annual event of its
kind to take place in our community.
An undertaking of this magnitude certainly requires the co-
sponsorship and promotional assistance of the private and public
sectors, working together. The positive impact of this world -
class sporting event will more than prove the wisdom of the
pledges for support which are being gathered at this time.
The Organizing Committee of the World Rowing Marathon would like
,. to request to be placed on the agenda of an upcoming meeting of
the Miami City Commission. The purpose of this presentation
would be both informative as well as solicitous.
The participation of the City of Miami is essential in making the
1989 World Rowing Marathon a success in which our entire area can
,. share. Please advise us of your upcoming meeting date, at which
time you deem it appropriate to make the presentation.
Beforehand, thank you for your attention and consideration of
this matter.
PG
Very sincerely,
Herbert O. Schaumburg
Chairman

THE 1989 WORLD ROWING MARATHON 4t,11r
The 1989 World Rowing Marathon offers sponsors a unique promotional
opportunity to reach a worldwide rowing audience of well into the hundreds of
millions. Reaching these viewers, as well as over an expected million spectators
along the Florida Intracoastal Waterway* would normally require a highly
prohibitive expenditure for advertising and promotion. The 1989 World Rowing
Marathon delivers this worldwide audience on a highly cost-efficient basis.
The 1989 World Rowing Marathon features an eight -man crew from each of
20 countries in a first -of -its -kind regatta. The 20 national crews will row
a down 72 miles of the picturesque Florida Intracoastal Waterway, starting in
North Palm Beach and finishing in Miami, over a seven-day period.
ESPN, currently offered to 46 million households, will televise this spectacular
athletic event, during one hour of prime weekend sports time, on Saturday,
January 21, 1989, from 2:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. Audiences all over the United
States and Canada will enjoy the pageantry, the spectacle and the excitement
of 20 international crews vying for the gold medal.
Internationally, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) will offer to distribute
a minimum of 3 1/2hours of the regatta telecast to its associate members in 65
countries. A significant number of national broadcasting networks have already
voiced a substantial interest in telecasting the event. Additionally, a one -hour
a documentary on the "making" of the 1989 World Rowing Marathon will be
produced for an April 1989 EBU distribution.
This seven-day festival of sport offers major opportunities in corporate
entertainment, merchandising, and employee and sales incentives, in an idyllic
Florida setting. The intrinsic appeal of the regatta is further strengthened by its
first -of -its -kind format and international cast of Olympic -calibre competitors.
Each eight -man crew from the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games will participate in
the 1989 World Rowing Marathon.
*Based on average attendance at the 1985 - 87 Fort Lauderdale Christmas Boat Parade of
approximately 450,000

•
The competition promises to be intense and hard-fought, as athletes test the
limits of their strength and durability. Teams all over the world have voiced
their full support for this first -ever pageantry of sport. No other rowing event
has ever been held which combines the natural beauty of the Florida
• Intracoastal Waterway, the moving grace of the eight -man crew and the
incredible test of physical stamina, as does the 1989 World Rowing Marathon.
The 1989 World Rowing Marathon is offered to a limited number of corporate
sponsors. Its potential as an effective advertising, promotional and merchandising
vehicle is unlimited. Join millions of spectators and viewers in the enjoyment
.x .
of this rowing spectacular in one of the world's most beautiful settings.
We thank you for your consideration.

In a gray haipe, with a chill In
the air. nine world champions
skimmed a 60-foot scull over
Indian Creek waters west of
Miami [leach's hotel row Monday
morning.
On the Themes in London, the
Charles in Boston. or the Schuyl-
kill in Philadelphia, the eight
oarsmen and coxswain Seth Bauer
might have gone unnoticed. Row-
ing crews are common in those
cities.
But here traffic slowed Several
police officers parked their cars on
Collins Avenue to watch. Resi-
dents and tourists also stopped,
captivated.
Most didn't know they were
watching the U.S. team that edged
the East Germans by 3.5 seconds
last August in Copenhagen, Den-
mark, to win the world title.
Out it wasn't difficult to see that
this was a crew of extraordinary
strength acid precision, of Olympi-
an skills. Those same eight oars-
men, in fact, are odds-on to
represent the United States in the
1998 Olympic Games in Seoul,
South Korea.
Their presence heralded an-
nouncement of the 1989 Inaugural
of list- World (towing Marathon, a
six -day, 76-mile race down the
Intracoastal Waterway from Lake
Worth to Miami Marine Stadium.
The race, scheduled for Jan.
10.15. 1989. will involve about 27
national eights, including those
from East Germany, the Soviet
Union and four other Soviet Bloc
countries.
Originator and organizer Iler-
bert Schaumburg called the mara-
thon, to be conducted in daily
20-kilometer (12.5-mile) stages,
"the greatest undertaking In the
history of rowing." lie may be
inclined to overstatement because
of his role, but several agreed the
marathon could provide a greater
showcase than the Olympics.
Mike Teti, 31, an I I•year mem-
ber of the U.S. national team from
Philadelphia, was an enthusiastic
advocate.
"From a visual standpoint, and a
eampelitive standpoint, I almost
feel like it's going to be more
0 `
CITwI; III 89
exriting than the Olympics," he
said
Ii S Cnarh Kris Korzeniowski.
originally from Poland, but coach
of the tl S men since 1984, said, "1
have participated In four Olympics
and 15 world championships as a
coach, but 1 think Ibis event could
be the most exciting."
The biggest excitement, they
agreed, will be provided by the
start. Olympic and world champi-
onship heats, including the finals,
have six sculls In the marathon,
the 27 or more entrants will line
up across Lake Worth to answer
the starting gun for the opening
4,700-meter sprint.
They will race in lanes only for
that segment, which will establish
time Intervals for the single -file
resumption of the first day's stage.
Each day the boats will be started
Individually according to intervals
at the end of the previous day.
Oarsmen accustomed to 2,000-
meter sprints and racing In lanes
will be required to adjust dramati-
cally. "Making a switch from six
minutes (for a 2,000-meter dis-
tancel to approximately an hour
and 10 minutes (for each 20-kilo-
meter stage is going to be pretty
radical," said Jonathan Smith, a
26-year-old Bostonian and, with
Tell, a holdover from the 1984
U.S. Olympics eight.
"This has never been done
before," UCLA student Mike Still
said, "so nobody will really know
how to approach it strategically. 1
can see somebody going out too
hard (the first dayl, being -the
rabbit, and then fading away."
Once the racing order is estab-
lished in the sprint, the lead boat
will be setting a course on the
Intracoastal and others will have
to find a way past. Particularly at
bridge narrowings, the action, to
be policed by 20 International
officials, could get hectic. Teti
said.
"It's going to be tunny listening
to all the swearing in all the
different languages," he added,
laughing.
Schaumburg has solicited sever-
al corporate sponsors and Is nego-
tiating with ESPN cable television
to televise the marathon.

19 AUG 88
From: Commander, Coast Guard Group Miami
To: Whom it May Concern
Suhj: WORLD ROVING MARATHON, UNITED STATES ROWING ASSOCIATION
1. Based upon preliminary discussions with organizers of the 1989
Word Rowing Marathon, an event sanctioned by the Federation
Internationale des Societes d'Avion (FISA), and the United States
Rowing Association, it is anticipated that a regatta permit will be
Aft approved and issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for this unique event.
2. Approval and issuance of the regatta permit will be subject to
permission and arrangements between organizer and each of the
municipalities in which the race is to be conducted. The race will
begin on 09 January 1989 and be run in stages, southward down the
�► Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) beginning in North Palm Beach and
finishing on 15 January 1989 at the Miami Marine Stadium on Key
Biscayne. This will necessitate closing of a different section of the
ICW each day for up to two hours while crews transit that day's
course.
w 3. The purpose of this letter is to inform officials of

Dear Mr. Schaumburg:
On behalf of the Christopher Columbus Quincentenary
Jubilee, a Presidential Commission, I wish to join in
welcoming the 1989 World Rowing Marathon to our shores.
It is an honor for us in this country to host this first
'! annual event, which will bring together over twenty-seven
countries for a seven-day, seventy-two mile regatta.
Just as Christopher Columbus navigated against all
adversity nearly 500 years ago to discover the "New World,"
so, too will the young athletes competing in this first-
time -ever marathon discover the best in themselves and
experience the solidarity built upon friendly competition.
tt► The World Rowing Marathon significantly contributes to the
purposes of this Presidential Commission of building a
living legacy of good will and understanding amoung peoples.
After all, the "Discovery" of the Americas, itself was
nothing more than the encounter of different cultures
and peoples.
Warmest personal regards and special greetings to
the Council members of the International Rowing Federation.

It gives me great pleasure to extend the best wishes of
Metropolitan Miami Dade County to the International Rowing
Federation in Switzerland and a heart -felt welcome to
all of the competitors and spectators who will be here
next January to participate in the world's largest rowing
r regatta in history.
Florida's beautiful Intracoastal Waterway will serve as
the race course for the 1989 World Rowing Marathon. Dade
County will witness sixteen kilometers of the regatta, as
the national teams from twenty-seven countries navigate
•' past thirteen of our municipalities, leaving behind a wake
of goodwill and friendship.
The people -to -people diplomacy that can result from such
an international sporting event is certain to have a
tremendous impact on South Florida. Our area also will
f have a unique opportunity to showcase its natural
attractions. But perhaps more importantly we hope to
leave a lasting impression on our guests as to the good
nature and friendliness of our people.
