Hi all,
I think the timetable below means it would be best to meet at the Boat park at 9:30 to launch the boats as soon as the tide allows in order to row over in time for the race start.
Could crew captains choose one cox from each crew to go straight to Northney in time for the 9.30 briefing and then meet their crew on the North slip beach ready to row to the start by the bridge please.
All particpants must have a lifejacket in the boat and wear it if the race organiser asks them to.
All coxes must wear lifejackets and carry a VHF radio
