Safety

On the day of the race, and in the preceding days, there are a lot of crews using the Tideway, and for many of them they are on unfamiliar waters.  On Race Day there is a river closure from about 1 hour before the start of the race, and the normal rules are suspended, but they apply at all other times.   There is a very good map showing application of the rules of the river available on the Port of London WebSite, and it is considered essential that all crews should download it, and keep it with them.  The link is:

There is also an article on the Thames Regional Rowing Council WebSite discussing various aspects of Safety around, and during, Head races on the Tideway.  This is also essential reading for all crews, coxes and coaches.  The link is:
