There will be a very high number of paddlers in the last 500m of the regatta course and around the Island, most of them boating from the Finish Pontoon and surrounding beaches
Please take extreme caution when rowing in these areas and keep a lookout for all traffic – ROW SLOWING THROUGH THE LAST 500m

If returning from training loop use Lane 9 and return to Northern beach only
