This Weekend on the Charles

Hey Folks,
a short but intense event this weekend.  Please use caution.
 
July 21, Saturday, 9:45AM - NOON.  CBC Invitational Regatta. 
Starting at Eliot Bridge, expect a bit of a scrum for the 15 minutes before.  Boats will go off the line in a relay style lap race using several boat classes, rounding buoys at Magazine Beach for early laps and below Weeks for later laps.  Please use caution at Eliot Bridge where boats may be waiting to be 'handed the baton' so to speak and also at any bouy you may see on the river since boats might be turning around them.
  • Power boaters are asked to travel the course before 8:45 am or after noon, but a travel lane will be maintained down the center of the river throughout the event (putt putt speed, please).  If on the course during the event, take care and prepare to hold up at the start line at Eliot Bridge  and also at all buoys as boats may be crossing your bow to round them and head back up river.  
  • Canoe and Kayakers and non participating rowers are asked to stay off the course during the event if at all possible.
