ENTRY DEADLINE: July 26, 2024
ENTRY: Entries and fees must be received by Friday, July 26, 2024 to be considered. Our goal is to have the final schedule on the web page (www.greenlakecrew.org) by July 31, 2024
Entry Fees:
8+: $175
4+/4x: $90
2x: $45
1x: $25
Entries will not be accepted without payment; entries received after March 13will be assessed a late fee and are subject to space availability. Entry fees will only be refunded if the event is cancelled due to insufficient entries or if your entry is waitlisted.
ENTRIES: First entries made in an event by the entry deadline will be prioritized. Second entries or lower registered by the entry deadline will be accepted while space permits. A random selection will be used to fill any vacancies for a second (or lower) entry. Events with fewer than three entries, from different clubs, will be removed from the schedule unless it is possible to combine the event with another.
RACECOURSE: We will be putting in an 8-lane buoyed racecourse for the Spring Regatta. Our goal is to offer one of the finest organized regattas your crew will attend this year, keeping safety and fair racing as our top objectives.
EQUIPMENT: Please make arrangements to bring your own equipment. Bow numbers are required and not provided. We will be having overnight security at Green Lake, but equipment will be left at your own risk. Parking for trailers will be available in the parking lots west of the boathouse. We will be closing parking lots early Friday morning.
SITE INFORMATION: Construction has affected our site in the following ways:
- Teams may only park trailers in the designated trailer areas
- Shell may only be stores in the designated shell storage area
- No visiting crews may stage by the Aquatheater
SHELL STORAGE: Shell storage is available in the parking lot. This will be changing slightly now that we have a new facility and the configuration has changed. More information to come at the C&C meeting August 1.
COACHES & COXES MEETING: The online coaches and coxswains meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 1st at 7:00pm. A meeting link will be made available to all teams one week prior to the event. Every team MUST have a representative in attendance, and it is recommended that all coxswains attend. This will be your last chance to make any changes in the race schedule prior to racing (i.e., Master's ages, scratches, etc.). Regatta rules and racing procedures will be reviewed, as well as new site map, launching and docking procedures, and rules about equipment storage.

PARKING: Parking on site has been a problem in the past and is limited due to construction. We ask you to PLEASE inform your participants to park legally. The Seattle Police are diligent about ticketing and towing illegally parked vehicles. Expect to park by the tennis courts and/or soccer and baseball fields at Lower Woodland. Please do not plan on parking along West Green Lake Way; it now has a bicycle path and is a no parking zone.
PERMITS PROPANE/TENTS: The Seattle Fire Department has requested that we obtain an LPG Assembly Occupation permit for all the crews that will be using propane. Green Lake will apply for this permit for the regatta. If you use any propane, you will be required to have an approved fire extinguisher. Acceptable fire extinguishers require a classification of 2A 40BC or greater. For crews wanting to put up tents larger than 200 square feet or shelters larger than 400 square feet, you will be required to apply for a permit with the Seattle Fire Department www.seattle.gov/fire. The permit that you will need is the 3201 Tent or Air-Supported Structure.
AWARDS: Medals will be awarded to first, second, and third place crews in all races.
