Crew Managers

Please check the Practice Schedule on a regular basis for crew events including clinics and Safety Orientations sessions. Managers are responsible to ensure all novice crew members participate in a Safety Orientation and to maintain documentation of their attendance prior to on water practices.

Crew Members must complete Online Registration and acceptance of the condition of the Waivers at least 1 week before the crew’s first practice. Youth Crews must submit completed Waiver Forms to the Registrar at least 1 week prior to the first practise. 

The Registrar will confirm your race entry once all the required documents are received.

Practice times are generally assigned on a first-come first-served basis. The Race Technical Committee reserves the right to reassign practices in order to balance the practice schedule.
