Rules of the Race Course: We have increased course marshalls for this years race.  The following rules will be enforced where needed...
- A :10 second penalty shall be assessed for each buoy that a crew passes incorrectly. A crew passes a buoy incorrectly when its hull passes on the wrong side of the buoy. Oars may be on either side of the buoy without incurring a penalty.
- A :30 second penalty shall be assessed to any crew that fails to yield to a crew having the right of way.
- A :30 second penalty may be assessed to crews that, in the opinion of the Dock Master, are delaying the launching of crews. Time on the launch docks is limited to two minutes for singles, pairs, doubles, fours and quads. Time on the launch docks is limited to three minutes for eights.
- A :60 second penalty shall be assessed to any crew crossing the starting line without its required bow number.
