The Course Layout This course is very different from the course last week at Henley Island. In Welland, boats are launched at the boat club, athletes row about 1k to the finish, then row up alongside of the course to the marshalling area. Once prepared to start, boats race the course and return to the launch. The race course finish line is at the official’s tower just south of Forks Road. So for each 2 km race, each athlete is actually rowing about 6 kms. Hot Seating At times races are closer in time than what following this pattern will allow, so some athletes will need to hot seat. The hot seat dock is located between the rail bridge and Forks Road. Picking up athletes from this dock saves time. This also requires a tremendous amount of planning from the coach and precise time management from the athlete. Athletes will be told if hot seating is required of them.
