Masters’

Rules for the use of Masters’ Boathouse are displayed there.  In particular:

1.         For safety reasons, no boy may take a boat out unaccompanied

2.         Boats must turn well below Romney weir, and no higher than the red marker on the bank of the Lock Island.

Andrews

When boating from Andrews when the river is in flood, boats must easy at the boathouse when rowing downstream so that they have plenty of time to turn well upstream of Boveney Weir.

Lake

Boys may visit the Lake with the permission of a member of staff, or for events organised by the Internal Rowing Master. Other requests should be made to the River Master or Lake Master.

See Bicycling p 5 for bicycling rules.

Internal Rowing

Basic Information for Boating from Rafts

Opening Times

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays                       5.15 to 7.30

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays                       2.15 to 7.30   (Closed  4.30 – 5.15)

• All boats must be back on the racks by closing time. 

Use of Boats at Rafts

1.        All boats (including IVs) should be booked out and back at the office. You need to know your Trials Number. To save time with IVs, the cox should fill out a booking slip.

2.        Tubs may be taken out for coaching purposes only by masters, members of the Monarch, Upper Boats, senior wetbobs or their deputies, or by others who have specific permission from the Head Boatman at Rafts.  They need not be booked out.

Accidents and damage

1.    All incidents must be reported to the office whether or not there was damage or injury.

2.    If a boy is involved in an accident with a member of the public, he must try to get the names and addresses of the people involved and of anyone who witnessed the accident.  He should tell the Head Boatman at Rafts and his House Master the details as soon as possible.

3.    All damage must be reported as soon as possible.  Any boy suppressing information about damage will be reported to the River Master and may be taken off the river.

4.    Boats must always be handled sensibly; oars and sculls must never be leant against walls or doors and must be put away neatly after use.

Dress and behaviour

1.      Boys must at all times be tidy in their appearance.  White shirt, blue shorts, and sports socks must be worn at Rafts in the summer.

2.      Warm hats must be worn in cold weather. A hat with a brim may be worn when it is hot. The hat must be tidy and inoffensive. Staff have the right to ban unsuitable headwear.

3.      Coxes should wear suitable protective clothing, including sunglasses. They may not wear shorts.

4.      Nobody other than coxes or scullers may wear sunglasses without written doctor's leave.

5.      Bad language, misconduct or any action endangering the safety of others may be punished.  Serious cases and any involving members of the general public must be reported to the River Master.

Boating fees

1.      The charges apply as follows:

• Full fee for boys who raced for the school, for F block who did the instruction course, and for those who went out from Rafts 7 or more times in singles or doubles.
• Half fee for those who were in a Bumping, House or J Colt Four only, or who went out from Rafts 4 to 6 times in singles and doubles.
• No fee for those who went out from Rafts fewer than 4 times.

·        Houses which used drybobs in fours events will be asked to pay £20 from the Games Account.  That is a flat fee of £20 per House, not £20 per boy.

2.      Boats are insured for accidental damage.  Careless damage will be charged for.

Safety on the River, at Locks and at Queen’s Eyot

The Water Safety Code of the Amateur Rowing Association (ARA) applies, and also the following rules:

1.      Boys must have passed the Swimming Test and Capsize Drill to go on the River, the Lake or to Queen's Eyot.

2.      Keep to the right of the River, i.e. Eton side upstream, Windsor side downstream

3.      Keep to the main river: all backwaters are forbidden.

4.      No bathing is allowed in the river or Lake

5.      Weirs are very dangerous.  Keep well clear, both upstream and downstream.

6.      The Watermen's and Monarch’s orders must be obeyed at all times.

7.      Every cox must wear a life jacket or buoyancy aid.

8.      If you swamp, stay with your boat, and tow it gently towards the bank.  Only if there is a real danger of your boat going over a weir and taking you with it, abandon it and swim for the bank.

9.      Land only at recognised stopping-places; Rafts, Locks, Andrews and Queen's Eyot.

10.  No boat may be taken downstream from Windsor Bridge without specific permission.

11.  Bumping Fours and F Quads must be accompanied by a coach who has rowing experience.

12.  Bicycling or running on the foreshore at any boathouse is forbidden.

13.  No exchanging of boats is permitted.

14.  In the unlikely event of an incident such as stone throwing, try not to get involved and move away as quickly as you can.  Report it as soon as possible to any waterman, or at Rafts

Locks

1.    The Lock-Keeper's or Watermen's orders must be obeyed.

2.    Most boats are carried over unless directed through the lock by the Lock-Keeper.  Eights must go through the lock.

3.    Crews intending to go through the lock should arrive there well before the Lock-Keeper goes off duty (5.30 in April, 6.30 in May, 7.00 in June).

4.    First carry your sculls across; then help someone else with his boat; then get help with your own.

5.    THE WEIR IS DANGEROUS.  When going upstream from Locks, keep well in to the Eton Bank.  When coming downstream, keep well to the Eton side of the lock island.  Start crossing to the Eton side as soon as you round the last bend upstream of the Lock.  If there is congestion in the lock cut, wait with bows facing upstream at least 50 yards upstream of the mouth of the lock cut.

6.    If there is congestion when going upstream, wait on the ETON side below the steamer piles until called by the Waterman.  Keep well clear of the passenger boats which go up to the weir and turn.

Queen’s Eyot

1.      Boys must put their boats where instructed, and not block the approaches to the landing stage.

3.      The Steward's instructions must be obeyed.

4.      Boys in B, C and D who have passed the Swimming Test may go to Queen's Eyot via the towpath on foot or by bicycle.  Access is across the footbridge upstream of the island.

The Monarch

1.      Members of the Monarch assist, under the supervision of aquatics masters or coaches, with discipline and safety on the river, and the administration of internal races.

2.     

All instructions given by members of the Monarch must be followed without argument.

Stopping the boat

In an emergency the command is “HOLD IT UP, HARD!”

The oarsmen stop rowing immediately, whatever stage of the stroke they are at.  They raise the handle, keeping the blade feathered so that the shaft runs into the water.  The hold on the oar handle should be firm. The wrists can be gradually dropped, turning the leading edges of the blades down.  The blades will dig in and a strong downward push on the oar handle is necessary to maintain control of the oar.

Routinely, the command is “HOLD IT UP.”

The cox should stop the crew rowing (“Easy All” followed by “Drop”).  On the command ‘Hold it up’ the oarsmen stop the boat as described above, but with a gentle and unhurried action.

Procession of Boats, Blazers and Colours

Procession of Boats

1.      The Procession of Boats is held on the “Fourth of June”.  A practice Procession is held two days earlier.

2.      With the exception of the Monarch, the crews are normal regatta crews.

3.      Clothes are obtained from Messrs New & Lingwood, and from the Tailors in the High Street. No hiring fee is charged to boys, but damage and repairs must be paid for.  Clothes must be returned as soon as possible in the week after the Procession.

4.      A place in the Procession of Boats does not mean that a boy has been given his Lower Boats or any other cap: colours are awarded on merit by the Captain of the Boats, according to performances in regattas and internal races.

Blazers and Colours

Colours for rowing in Eights are normally awarded at the National Schools' Regatta, but may be awarded earlier at the discretion of the Captain of the Boats.  Although crews normally race in the appropriate colour, no boy may wear a colour at Eton until he has been awarded it.  Colours for distinguished performances in internal races are also awarded by the Captain of the Boats.  Blazers are available from the Laundry as soon as they have been authorised.

Locks Duty

·        Senior Wetbobs must provide 2 boys (D or above) for their Locks duty.

·        The first named house does 2.30 to 4.15pm. The second does 4.15 to 6pm.

·        Boys must report to the Lock Keeper at the beginning of their stint, and not go until the queue of boats is cleared.

·        Boys may bicycle to and from Locks (see ‘Bicycling Rules’).

·        Boys must not be late, and must behave safely and sensibly.

Queen’s Eyot Duty

·        Senior Wetbobs must provide 2 boys (C or above) for their Queen’s Eyot duty.

·        Boys on duty must see HSJP by the end of Chambers on the day concerned.

·        Boys must report to the Steward, Mr Knight, at the beginning of their stint at Queen’s Eyot.

·        All boys on duty must arrive at Queen’s Eyot by 3.30pm. They will be free to go soon after 5pm.

·        Boys may bicycle to and from Queen’s Eyot (see ‘Bicycling Rules’), and must have passed their swimming test.

·        Boys must not be late, and must behave safely and sensibly.

It is essential that these duties are all done properly. Senior Wetbobs are responsible for ensuring that this is the case.

Locks instructions

Normally one boy will be at the downstream end of locks and will organise the boats to come alongside in succession - ensuring the remainder WAIT in SINGLE line with a space between them - moving towards the Pontoon as the boats move over.  He helps the boys out from a single sculling boat, tells the boy to take his sculls over the far side and then to come back for his boat.  The Downstream Locks Duty assists in carrying a boat over if there is only one boat waiting, otherwise the boy in front whose boat has just been taken over returns and assists the next boat over.  The upstream Locks Duty holds onto the first sculling boat over and sends the sculler back to assist the next boat - then he assists the first boat out - warning him of the correct approach from Locks to Andrews and Andrews to Locks.

Internal (House) Races

General Notes on Internal Competitions:

1.      Entries are made via Senior Wetbobs, as arranged by the Ninth Man, the Internal Rowing Master and the Master i/c F block rowing.

2.      Boys must arrive in good time.  Races may be started without latecomers. Absentees may incur point penalties.

Bumping Races Rules & Information

1.      The Course:         Between Lower Hope and a blue flag near the upper end of Rafts.  The finish may be moved further upstream if the current is strong.

2.      Two divisions:      Boats are divided into two Divisions of which the Lower starts first.  The boat finishing at the head of the Lower Division then starts at the bottom of the Top Division on the same day (‘sandwich boat’).

3.      Bung lines:           A chain is laid along the bed of the river from Lower Hope to a little below Elizabeth Bridge.  To this chain are attached at 90ft intervals the required number of cords of equal length, each ending in a wooden bung, which must be held by the cox until the starting gun is fired.

4.      Three guns are fired: five minutes and one minute before the race begins, and to start the race.

5.      Any boat that has not picked up its bung by the time the one-minute gun is fired, or has failed to hold it until the starting gun is fired must expect disqualification.  A boat disqualified in this way must come in as close as possible to the Eton bank.  The boat immediately behind it must row past it (or its starting place if it has not appeared at all), claim a bump and withdraw.

6.      Boats must abide by their accidents and breakages. (see GENERAL NOTES, p10)

7.      Definition of a bump:       A bump takes place when the bow of a boat passes the bow of the boat next in front, or when contact is made between hulls.  Contact with an oar does not count for a bump.  Crews must not slow down to impede a boat by hitting its oars: a penalty bump may be awarded. A boat can be bumped while any part of it remains on the course. No boat may make more than one bump in a race.

9.      The cox of a bumped crew must acknowledge the bump as soon as he is safely able to do so by raising his hand. The bumped crew remains in the race, and must continue rowing. They may be bumped again, or themselves bump another crew.  The cox is encouraged to concede an inevitable bump, by raising his hand LONG before it happens, thus reducing the risk of his boat being inconvenienced. Late acknowledgement of a bump may incur a penalty at the discretion of the Internal Rowing Master.

10.  The Umpire's decision is final as to whether or not a bump has been made.  Competitors are warned that glancing blows are difficult to spot and will not necessarily be allowed.

11.  After each race all coxes and Umpires must report to RECS in the Office.

12.  The finish order is based on the order in which remaining boats cross the finishing line.  Boats achieving a bump shall be placed above the boat bumped.

Notes.  In the explanatory rules below, boats start in the order A (front) B C D.

14.        

A boat which is absent on any one night will be deemed to have been bumped only by the boat behind before reaching the finish line. If B is absent, C must pass B’s starting place and then retire. The order the next night will be A C B D. If D also bumps A, the order will be D A C B.  If two (or more) consecutive boats fail to start, these shall each move down two (or more) places and the boats that have technically bumped them by rowing past (and then retiring from the race) each move up two (or more) places; e.g. if A and B fail to start, the order for the next race will be C,D,A,B.

15.   A tactical absence may be penalised by a fall of more than one place.

16.  A boat which fails to start throughout the races is held to have been taken off.  New boats and those re-entering are arranged at the bottom of the Second Division in order of seniority of Houses. If a House withdraws before the first day of racing, other crews move up to fill the gap.

17.  If B bumps A and a few seconds later C bumps B, C’s bump would normally be invalid.  However, if it is judged that C could not reasonably have altered course to avoid colliding with B, the bump may be allowed, and the next starting order will be B C A D.  This concession applies only to bumps made within a short time of each other (three strokes, or four at most), and in which C had no opportunity to alter course.

18.  In case of dispute the final decision rests with the Internal Rowing Master.  Any dispute must be brought to his attention within fifteen minutes of the starting gun having been fired.  Depending on circumstances, a re-row may or may not be possible.

F Quads Rules and Information

This competition is held over four days, and comprises tests in style, strength, endurance and speed.  F Quads should be accompanied by a boy coach, who should have had the main responsibility for the crew throughout training.  He is encouraged to coach and help wherever possible except in the manoeuvring (Day 2, section c).  Medals are awarded separately for each day, and for the overall result.

Day 1: Ergometers                                                                                                    max. 30 points

Crews (including cox) will row a distance of 1000 metres on the Ergometers, at a rate not exceeding 25. The final positions of the crew members are added together to get crew rankings.

Day 2:  Style                                                                                                             max. 30 points

a)        BOATING AND PULLING AWAY. Crews will boat, from the top pontoon at Rafts.  They will be judged for all points of good boating. The coach may help the crew carry and launch the boat:

       Dress, Discipline, Care and handling of equipment, Paddling away, Coach                     10 marks

b)        SCULLING. Crews will scull from a flag placed near the Bargeman’s bridges to a flag placed just past Elizabeth bridge, accompanied by their coach, and will be marked on the quality of their sculling.              10 marks

c)        MANOEUVRING. After the scull crews will be told to:

·        Paddle on at a firm pressure. 

·        Do an emergency stop, which may be ordered at any moment by the waving of a red flag. (see below)

·        Back her down to a buoy in the river.

·        Turn round and paddle on.  They then go back to Rafts, but must keep out of the way of other crews who are still competing.                                                                                                               10 marks

Common faults are (a) wrong command from the cox and wrong action from the crew for the emergency stop, (b) cox failing to look round before turning, and (c) finishing on the wrong side of the river after turning.

d)      DISEMBARKING. They will come in to the Raft, unship their sculls, disembark without assistance, and put their equipment away.                  10 marks

The marks for all the sections will be totted up. The winning crew will get 6 points each, those second 5 each and so on, as laid out in the points digest overleaf.

Day 3: The Long Row

Crews will scull from Lower Hope to Rafts, timed.  Marking as for Day 1                    max. 30 marks

DAY 4: Side by side

Knockout Competition (from Easy Bridge to Athens).  Marking as for Day 1.              max. 30 marks
