Lane Number boards will be used at this regatta and it is the responsibility of clubs to provide these for their paddlers.

Safety : All paddlers aged U14, those ranked Division D, and those who have not met the minimum standards for Sprint Racing as published in the BC Canoe Sprint and Marathon Handbook must wear an approved buoyancy aid (floatation device) at all times on the water.

Organisers may require other competitors to also wear approved buoyancy aids if they feel that the conditions require it, so all competitors should come prepared to comply with this requirement. 

Boat Buoyancy: 

• Buoyancy both fore and aft should be present and secured to the structure of the boat.
• Buoyancy should be sufficient for the boat to float in a horizontal plane when filled with water with sufficient reserve buoyancy to support the paddler. (Inherent buoyancy in composite boats is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Additional foam buoyancy or air bags must be fitted.) Bulkheads, if fitted, should be intact and sealed

The loch may be in use by other craft during the event. Paddlers must take care and be respectful of other users.   Detailed advice will be provided in the briefing.
