Head of the Hudson: Penalties

Buoys

Again, there are no buoy penalties. Racing in the powerboat lane will add more than 10 seconds to your time and is penalty enough!

Interference - 60 seconds

Impeding the progress of an overtaking boat or stopping before the final buoy (not to mention the risk of another crew plowing into you!).

Severe Safety Violations - 60 seconds up to disqualification

  • Rowing North in the racing lane, either before or after racing.
  • Rowing the wrong way in the warm-up area.

Late to Start

Arriving at the start more than 30 seconds after the last boat in your event has started.
