2010 TSS ROWING HANDBOOK - The Southport School

1.3 PROCEDURE OF GETTING OFF THE WATER
After a session, always come into the boating area with bows facing the same direction as
they did when you put the boats in the water ie. Facing south, towards Surfers Paradise. The
ramp coordinator or the Director of Rowing will advise crews if landing on the ramp can be
done towards the NORTH. This often may need to take place when the wind and tide make it
difficult to approach to the SOUTH.
Take the oars out and quickly place on the bank (never drop your oars), then carry the boats
up and place it on trestles ready to be washed. Go back to collect your oars and wash both
boat thoroughly inside and out and all parts of the oar, including the blade, shaft, sleeve and
handle.
As soon as your boat is washed, free up the space in the boat wash area to allow for those
waiting to come in by promptly putting away your boat followed by your oars. ALL BOATS
ARE TO BE STORED UPSIDE DOWN.
Remember, single scullers Y10 or younger must have two people carrying a boat.
After your boat is away, without instruction, you should then pull your coaches boat out of
the water.
Once everybody has their boat back on their rack, all scull racks and coaches boats must be
put back in the sheds before any rower leaves the boat shed.
All rowers should be departing the shed no later than 7:45am. All rowers MUST shower prior
to breakfast. Late breakfast for rowers is from 8:00am‐8:20am.
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE PUT AWAY PRIOR TO ANYONE LEAVING THE BOAT SHED UNLESS
APPROVAL GIVEN BY MR SMITH (Director of Rowing) OR YOUR IMMEDIATE COACH.
TSS ROWING PRIDES ITSELF ON TEAMWORK. LET’S ALL HELP AROUND THE SHED, AND HELP EACH
OTHER.
