Technical equipment

BOAT RENTAL
The organising committee will provide the boats and oars at a charge of €45,- per seat per day for crews travelling overseas (i.e. not from the North American continent – including Canada, US and Mexico). Hudson Boat Works and local clubs are our partners for boats. Accessories such as a CoxBox and Speedcoach are not provided. 8+’s will be equipped with Nielsen-Kellerman cables and speakers. An inventorisation of which shoe sizes are required will take place after the individual entry deadline. Oars will be provided by Concept2 and have a green inner handle by default. The outer handle can be configured on site. Details on your boat will be confirmed as soon as possible. North American crews are encouraged to bring their own boats and oars. There will be sufficient boat racks, and parking spaces for boat trailers.

Trainings

The racing facility will be open daily for training periods starting Monday August 10th. Please see the provisional schedule for details. Earlier arrivals can be coordinated. Teams wishing to do so should contact the LOC directly.
