It is good to see so many lightweight entries for the inaugural lightweight single sculls events this year. We appreciate that many of you may not have rowed lightweight before, so the rules are shown below.

The limit for open events is 72.5 kg and for women’s events is 59 kg – the weighing will be in the leftmost boating bay in the boating area

• • A competitor shall declare with the draw the regime for weighing-in with regard to the events a competitor may be competing in and shall confirm arrangements for the issue of weight certificates
  • Rowers shall be weighed-in each day not less than one hour and not more than two hours before the originally scheduled race time of the first race that day of the event in which they are entered
  • Rowers need not weigh in on a day they are not racing
  • All members of a crew shall report for weighing in at the same time – this rule shall not apply to coxes
  • Rowers substituted into a crew as a result of a medical withdrawal shall be weighed in at the earliest opportunity after approval for the substitution was given
  • Rowers shall wear racing strip when they weigh-in
  • Competitors may be asked to produce their membership card, or other photographic identification, when weighing-in
