RegattaCentral

Hi Coaches, 

Thanks again for supporting our regatta this year. We have grown a little bit and look towards more growth next year.

We are getting a little more press this year, but still no corporate sponsors. 

US Rowing Officials

This Regatta is fully registered regatta with USRowing. 

We have hired four US Rowing officials (Mariah Foster as chief, Matt Brady, Doug Jones and the president of the LLVRC, Seth Ahlborn as assistants.). 

Boat Storage and Parking

Trailers will be able to park on the dirt lot next to the Season's Parking lot and also along the front of the lake by the race course. Please have your trailer drivers contact me (415-309-9421) and give me ETA's. The Season's grocery parking lot right by the dock will be closed off for Shell Storage on the dirt part only. The paved area must be left open for emergency vehicles.  Parking for all coaches, athletes, support staff and spectators will be on top of the hill overlooking the race course. NO ONE is to park in the lower paved lot. We have to leave that for Season's grocery patrons and Viera Condo guests.

Schedule of Events

The schedule and all information is up on www.Regattacentral.com. Please take a look and get back to me with thoughts on event order and start times. We can do a lane draw on Friday. We are going to 20 minute centers to give more time to pick up coaches and to make sure lane 3 is clear for some of the men's races.  

Please use this to register you teams. I have made lineups optional as I know this is an early race, but I would love them for publicity. Entry fees have been dropped to $500 per team to help cover the referees and buoy line...but....we are giving you a........

Bow Ball and Footboard inspection

The referees will go around on Friday afternoon and inspect all your boats for safety compliance.

Practice and Launch use

Practice on the course is permitted on Thursday, Friday, Saturday (30 minutes after the end of racing) and Sunday (between 6 and 8 am and again 30 minutes after the last race). I will only have two launches available during practice unless we get teh course in early. Please reply back with your practice schedules and I will do the best to accommodate your coaches.

Traffic Pattern

We use a Clockwise pattern on the lake during practice and racing. Once you leave the dock (bow first) please check for incoming traffic and then immediately cross over to the North side of the Lake. There is a "pinch point" located at 250 meters to go on the race course. Do not go up the course if there are any boats on the course in the last 700 meters. Once clear, proceed up and stay on the left as you go up to the starting line.  There will be two red buoys in a warm up area if you choose to use it. Be safe as you turn around the buoys and watch for other crews.

After your race you may proceed towards the Hilton Bridge to cool down and make a right turn to come back and watch for the next race coming down. We only have one dock that holds 1 eight on each side. If it gets busy use the west side (next to larger dock) for launching and the east side (next to the rock wall) for returning. On race day we will have dockmasters to guide you.

Course map

This is a 3 lane course with the 2 buoy lines are around Lane 2.
