NAVIGATION RULES
During the river closure crews should be in the middle of the river when travelling with the tide and as near the bank as conditions allow when travelling against the tide (note that the river is only closed between Kew and Putney Rail Bridges from ~1hr before the race and until the last boat has crossed the finish line). Outside the river closure: You will find instructions at: www.pla.co.uk
This applies to both Tideway and non-tideway crews. All coxes must be familiar with the Rowing Code of Practice for the Tidal Thames between Putney and Richmond before boating at any time. This can be found at http://cms.thames-rrc.org/rowing-on-the-thames/navigation-on-the-river-thames/ Further advice on some of the most common faults is available at http://thamesrc.atics.co.uk/cms/safety-c-geroge-personal-opinion/tideway/hor-advice.html
Incidents whilst boating on the tideway either during the race or otherwise should be reported to the Regional Rowing Council using the online reporting system. http://www.thames-rrc.org/safety . Incidents during the race should also be reported to the race organisers.
AT ALL TIMES YOU MUST TAKE GREAT CARE AROUND ALL BRIDGES & FIXED / MOORED OBSTRUCTIONS.
