Derigging and Rigging of Boats
Assistance in loading/unloading trailer:
-
All rowers attending regatta must be at loading and unloading of trailer, both at the boathouse and regatta. Rowers that are unable to attend loading and unloading will need to let coaches and the trailer driver know in advance. They should also make sure their boat is ready to be loaded on the trailer ahead of time.
-
Information will be sent out to rowers and their families ahead of time to let them know when trailer will be loaded to head to races. Information will also be given out regarding when the trailer will be unloaded at regatta, reloaded at races and unloaded at the boat house.
-
Just as unloading and loading of trailers, rigging and derigging of boats will need to be done by the entire team, as this takes time and is a great learning experience for students to have. Parents may help with this process if they wish.

Loading and unloading, as well as rigging and derigging of boats, takes time. It is very important that all members do their absolute best to be present when needed.
