Waiver: Please sign and return the regatta waiver prior to the regatta payment deadline. No rower will be allowed to participate if a waiver is not signed. US Rowing membership is NOT required to compete in this regatta. PLEASE SEE THE WAIVER LINK ON THE SIDEBAR TO ACCESS THE REGATTA SPECIFIC WAIVER! **Note, waiver forms will also be present at the regatta. Please wait until we update the waiver to the 2020 form.
Trailers: The regatta is held near a community park, and rowers are launched from a community-owned dock. Trailer parking is available regatta-side. However, it is strongly recommended that rowers carpool. If singles and doubles can be included on the team trailer, and rowers carpool, that would be ideal to reduce the number of individual vehicles in the parking lot. Please indicate on your registration form how you will be transporting your boat and if you will be parking your vehicle in the lot.
