Once you have your equipment in hand, get your crew together near your assigned boat. Make sure they have taken the correct oars out first.
Place oars at either end of the lawn.
If there are oars in the way, direct your boat to an opening between them, rather than having rowers step amongst them as they carry the boat. To keep crowding at the dock to a minimum, boats are always taken out of the house last and put away first. Remember that Princeton University and the National Team have docking and launching priorities. Take a minute to figure out the best way to get the boat off the rack and out of the boathouse. This will depend on which rack the boat is located.
