Cold Water Policy
Club equipment
will only be used as described below when cold water rowing conditions exist,
defined as water temperature below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Remember that PFD’s are always to be worn by
all rowers, make sure to log in and out and an advanced bow certified rower
must always be in a blind boat. It is
every rower’s responsibility to know the water temperature. There is a thermometer at the end of the
dock.
Low-Light Policy
All boats rowing after sunset or before sunrise are required by Minnesota law to display a white light that is visible from a distance of at least two miles.
In addition, all club-owned boats which are rowing more than thirty minutes before sunrise or more than thirty minutes after sunset must be accompanied by a launch unless specifically exempted by the Commodore. Sunset and sunrise times are to be determined by the Commodore, and are published in the Department of Natural Resources' publication "Minnesota Boating Guide."
