HOBR Course

• Course Length: 4350m
• Boats come down to launch STERN first, then swing stern to the right.
• Shells will be checked once for shoe ties, bow balls and bow clips.
• Crews must row directly across the river if clear at a sharp angle and then row up the warm-up lane along the shoreline.
• Crews warming up must stop and approach inside turns slowly when other crews are racing on the outside lane.
• Coxswains should review maps, video's, and content under the Rules tab to take crew on the safest course to prevent penalties.
• Crews should row as a full boat up to the start; this is not a time for drills.
• Coaches should inform the Regatta Director (Mairead) and the Dock Master about hot seating situations with athletes or a shell.

• If you'd like to view the race from the middle of the course, park near South Ave/Hamburg St./ Mutual Riverfront Park (41 Hamburg St, Buffalo, NY 14204). This is an exciting turn around Silo City.
• Other viewing points: Ohio Street Boat Launch (other side of Dead Mans creek), please note this is a restoration site so please be respectful. Ohio Street bridge is also a great viewing point (park along Ohio St. near Rigidized metal and Silo City).
