FAQ
Do I have to book boats at a specific time?
No, as the number of people that can row at any time (6 per bay) is limited you do not have to adhere to the usual (5:15-6:30/6:30-8) time slots anymore if not possible. When booking a boat make sure that it aligns with the maximum of 6 people per bay rule. Best to keep 15 min difference to other people to allow enough time for crews to get boats onto the water.
What happens if I book a single but there is a quad and two other singles already in the bay getting their boat ready?
As there is a maximum of 6 people per bay in the case that you would be the 7th person you would need to wait until the bay has cleared.
Do I have to wash my boat?
Yes, with soapy water as usual. Wash inside and outside after every use. Was oar handles after every use. Always use soap!
Can I hand over my boat at the pontoon if someone else has booked it after me?
No, you must wash your boat and oars after every use.
Can I help someone else with their boat?
Yes you can but try to keep 1.5 m distance whenever possible.
Can I row any boat?
You are allowed to row any general use boat but only black boats that you have been given permission to row.
