RULES SURROUNDING BOAT USE:
Boat allocation at regattas is the sole responsibility of the coaches. As a rule, the best boats will go to the fastest crews or most experienced crews.
Rowers will not be allowed access to boats at either shed other than at organised training and regattas. Please contact Ivan Docherty or Shane Carter if you have any queries.
Every season we replace or renovate boats, and it is essential all rowers treat the equipment carefully and respectfully.
