If your team would like to reserve one of the finish line area spaces, please register for a space on the event page, just as if it were another race.  It is event number 00.

Boat Trailers - for those schools / clubs bringing trailers to the regatta, please contact Ed at [email protected] so that we can coordinate trailer spaces.  As in the past, these will be on a first to arrive first serve basis, with no reservations or guarantees of a certain location.
