This weekend on the Charles, a scrimmage and a regatta this weekend to be aware of. Please adjust your schedules to work around these events.
SATURDAY, OCT 12
7AM, RBC Head of the Kevin scrimmage on the Head of the Charles course (BU Boathouse to 10 strokes past the wooden bridge at Herter Park). Should have a fair number of boats so non-participants should give a good amount of time (like half an hour or more) before arriving at the start line to do your piece. If you are not part of this through an official channel, please don't jump in and screw up the timing.
SUNDAY, OCT 13
11AM-1PM, Head of the Quinebequin, USRowing registered regatta for Youth Scullers (under 19 years old to 11 years old) sponsored by CRI, CBC, RBC, and UBC from Eliot Bridge to N. Beacon ST Bridge. Scullers will be launching from CRI, NU, and RBC to assemble between Anderson and CBC for the Start around 11:45AM. First boat starts at 12PM, last crew to cross the finish line about 1PM. All scullers will return to CRI.
In the interest of safety, hometown clubs and colleges are asked to have their visitors finish any Head of the Charles course practice work by 11AM to clear the way for this regatta.
State Police will be stationed near the public boat launching ramp/CRI and opposite Riverside Boat Club for Safety and to caution all river users to wait or proceed only with extreme caution if absolutely necessary.
And yet, ANOTHER note of caution to the rowing world as the barges have been cleared from the Anderson Bridge repair zone. Although all three arches are open, please exercise extreme caution when navigating Anderson Bridge. The starboard most lanes are the safest for traffic. Crews have already been seen travelling both directions through the center arch – this isn't the time to practice the Head of the Charles course to a T. Just because you are doing a Head of the Charles timed piece does NOT mean that Head of the Charles rules are in effect. Pass to port, not necessarily for the shortest line. Be safe out there - keep an eye out for motorized traffic using the center arch both ways as well as visiting crews which are not paying attention. Host clubs and colleges, please make sure your guests know the rules of the river,
CRAB fine print and legalese.... CRAB is not the boss of you. We cannot tell you what to do. We offer information that we believe to be true in a good faith effort to improve awareness, communication and boating safety. And we do this because we believe that the boaters of the Charles River want a safe boating environment for all. This is not an official document from CRAB, it is informational only.
