Numbers are to be returned to the Information Centre after the last race on Sunday. All teams are to report to the marshalling area on the shoreline 30 minutes before race time. They should line up in boat order with the drummer on the upstream end. Should you need a steersman or drummer, please notify the dock crew at least 30 minutes before your race. Teams will file onto the dock 20 minutes before race time and will put on their life jackets which must be worn during the race.
Racers can then get in the boats and wait for further instructions from the dock staff.
Both teams are to pass to the left of the lane marker. Failure to correct course may result in time penalties. Upon completion of the course, all boats should make a right turn, paddle up the south shore and then proceed across the race lanes to the dock when the course is unobstructed. It is appropriate to paddle close to the Edmonton Queen paddle wheeler while it is docked but give it wide berth when it is on the water. Teams should try to bail as much water as possible from the boats before docking.
