There is no formal practice time on the course. For those who are trying to practice on the course, it helps us if we've heard from you at regatta@riverfront.org. Any practice is unsupported by dock masters, or safety launches. No one should launch for any kind of practice later than 3:00pm on Saturday, and all boats must be back, OFF the water and returned to the trailer area by 5:00PM Saturday. The boat launch in Riverside Park will be closed through 10/7 for the event. [https://riverfront.org]
Hot-seating (of equipment and personnel) will be performed at the crew’s risk of missing an event. Note that we cannot accommodate holding a boat or hot seating on the docks, and that two hours is the minimum we recommend between event times for an athlete or line up to not be late to the line and therefore unable to race. Crews are advised to launch 45 minutes before their scheduled race time.
Competitors are responsible for allowing sufficient time to race in one event, land, re-queue, and launch in time for an additional event. We recommend two hours between event start times as a minimum for an athlete or line up to not be late to the line. Under no circumstances will the start of an event be held up waiting for a late boat. The Head of the Riverfront Regatta accepts no responsibility for missed start times.
TENTS & GRILLS
Notice: The City of Hartford is stringently enforcing regulations regarding the set up of tents, cooking grills, and the permitting and inspection process for such structures. As a result, to comply with the direction from the Fire Prevention Chief/Fire Marshal for the City of Hartford, only tents that are rented from and provided by the Riverfront Recapture and have been assured to meet the regulations may be used. Teams must register and submit payment for tents through the regatta tent registration process: no team-provided tents will be allowed to set up. Teams may bring their grills, warming tables, etc, but these must only be operated in the designated space adjacent to, but not underneath, their tents assigned to each organization. Riverfront Recapture will obtain the necessary permits for these uses. Assignment of spaces will be made on a first- come, first serve basis. Reservation deadline September 20, 2024.
