Bow Numbers

For head-style heats, all boats are required to have bow numbers. These will be supplied by the local organizing committee (LOC) and available for pick up at the launch dock area 15 minutes before and after the coach and coxswain’s meeting.

All crews in non-head style races are responsible for supplying their own bow numbers. If a boat does not have a bow number, a limited number will be available for sale from the Dock Master. They are $10 for a set with numbers #1-6.

Check-In

There is no check-in.

To submit last-minute lineup changes, find a race representative the morning of the regatta. They will be available for assistance at the gazebo near the launch docks from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m.
