  • Meeting of Clubs Re
    EA Rules of Navigation All boats to pass PORT to PORT (STROKE side to STROKE side) i.e. keep to the right (BOW side) at all times. This is particularly important when there is poor visibility and after dark. All boats of narrow beam out after dark must carry a white light visible through 360º. White lights visible from back and front is generally accepted. It is also suggested that light coloured clothing be worn at night. Rules agreed by local Rowing/Sculling Clubs boating on the Walton/Weybridge Reach Boats from all clubs are to exercise caution at all times and take all necessary measures to avoid collisions. D’Oyly Carte Island to be one way traffic round it, i.e. all boats pass around the island by going upstream on the Middlesex side and downstream on the Surrey side. E.g. crews coming up the Desborough Channel should go to the right as they leave the Channel and go round the Middlesex side of D’Oyly Carte Island; turning left at the top of the island if returning downstream or across to WLARC and Weybridge RC. Similarly, boats leaving WLARC and Weybridge RC should proceed downstream on the Surrey side of D’Oyly Carte Island. Clubs have the choice of which way they go round the old river circuit, either up the Desborough Channel and round the point at the top of the Channel into the old river or the reverse route. It is very important that corners are not cut when navigating in either direction and boats must keep to the right at all times.
