Rowing Guide

NAVIGATION NOTES – LIGHTS, LOOK AND KEEP THE SHORE ON YOUR LEFT ELBOW.

LEAVE THE PONTOON AND STAY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE EXIT ALLEY – YOUR LEFT (BOWSIDE) AS YOU SIT IN THE BOAT. IF YOU LEAVE BEFORE SUNRISE, LIGHTS MUST BE FITTED AND VISIBLE FROM 1K. Avoid rowing mid-stream. White arrows on the map show main course routes and direction. Avoid collisions by checking your course frequently (about every 5 strokes). Be on high alert in High Traffic Zones and watch for turning boats. Avoid training in these zones where possible. DO NOT STOP OR CONGREGATE ON MAIN ROWING ROUTES. Use the Assembly Areas shown. MINIMISE NOISE especially in the morning. Don’t shout, talk loudly or use megaphones when passing The Bluff or other residential areas. Boats leaving the pontoon should give way to those returning. Southbound boats turning for the sheds at the Sailing Club WATCH FOR BOATS DOING PIECES NORTHWARDS ON THE MAIN WATERWAY. Returning boats stay on south side of alley – again your left elbow.
