Re: (CRAB) What is happening on the Charles

Minor correction - the Sunday, Oct 4, 2015 11:00AM Greater Boston Youth Rowing Head Race between BC High and CRI Boys will take place on the Head of the Charles course, BU Boathouse to 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park.

And, The Stampfli 24 Person (plus cox'n) sculling boat (yup, it's like 3 eights put together with twice as many oars each) will be launching hourly out of Riverside Boat Club post Head of the Kevin III on Saturday, October 10, 2015 starting at about 10AM.  It may also go for a paddle from CRI after the Head of the Q on October 11.  Please keep your eyes open and steer clear.

Hello CRAB,
A quick reminder to the rowing community that the center arches of the Powerhouse are upstream only from 5AM to 1PM through the fall.  

Also, please be reminded that the rowing traffic pattern graphic has a mistake in the Union Lane which is to be used as upstream only.  

Need a primer? Find the entire rowing traffic pattern written out at www.CharlesRiverAllianceofBoater s.org on the Rowing page.  If you think that something in the rowing traffic pattern needs to change then write it up and give it to your organization's CRAB rep.  Meetings will be organized to hear all proposed changes and a vote will be taken on each proposed change.  Proposed changes cannot violate Coast Guard Regulations.  Until such vote is taken, please row the parttern as written.
