Schedule

The Final Schedule is attached and posted on RC.  The 1x's have moved from before the Novice 8's to after the 4x to make sure we don't have any safety concerns with novice scullers. Please note a few things about this schedule:

-All three docks will be used to launch 6 boats at a time during the launch windows.

-Boats will only be allowed to launch within their launch windows, no later, no sooner.   

-Boats need to clear the dock in 3 mins or less.  Boats will have 20 mins to get to start line (~2.5k).

-During the breaks, all three docks will be used for recovery. 

-Boats will have 15 mins to get from the finish line to the recovery docks (~1.5k).  Please instruct crews not to stop at the finish line, but rather spin and continue rowing back to the docks.

-Due to the scheduling blocks, shells and/or rowers cannot be doubled within each grouping of races (1-5, 6-9, 10-14, 15-18, and 19-22). 

-To aid in quick launching, heal ties will be spot checked during recovering of boats instead of during the launching process. 

Friday Practice

The course will be open for practice from 3pm-6pm on Friday.  Traffic pattern will be clockwise, with shoreline on the coxswains port side at all times (reverse of the usual sprint course traffic pattern). 

Trailer Drop Off

Trailers can be dropped off from Noon - 7:00pm on Friday and starting at 5:30am Saturday morning.  Parking passes for your trailer and hospitality vehicle have been mailed to each of the teams. 

Saturday Parking

Attached is the parking information and map to share with your athletes families.  Please review it, as it has changed since last year. /cms/uploads/plant_high_rowing_association/files/Parking for Harney Park (1).pdf

Waiver

Two waivers are needed - the online NOARA waiver and the paper version of the TBCRC waiver.  Both can be found at: https://www.regattacentral.com/regatta/waiver.jsp?job_id=2576&org_id=0

Fee

Fees that have not already been mailed in need to be paid through RC by credit card or by check on race day.  Checks can be made out to "PHRA".  There will be a $10 scratch fee for any future changes and a $5 bow card replacement fee for any lost bow cards associated with your team.  This will need to be paid before medals are awarded.
