Launching and Recovery during time trials:

For teams recovering at the Three Angels dock, be aware that there may be a delay in getting your boat off the river. We strongly advise that you have appropriate clothing and fluids with you when you launch in anticipation of a delay in recovery.
Boats will be marshaled into the recovery dock in the bow number order.
Hot seating will be allowed based on approval from the Dock Master. In order to Hot Seat, the coach must discuss the plan with the Dock Master. If approved, the Dock Master will provide a Hot Sheet placard. The returning crew must alert the Marshall of the Hot Seat and follow the Marshall's directions for returning to the dock.
All teams must provide assistance to launching and recovering crews to facilitate timely dock management. This must include extra people to carry oars. We do not want the rowers to make an extra trip up the ramp to get or drop off oars. Each team must provide one person for every two sweep oars or pair of sculling oars.
- Singles: one extra person to carry one set of sculling blades.
