Sign out club and privately owned boats and oars in the OBC log book and be sure to log back in on your return.
Privately owned shells should also be signed out in the private log book to allow the Park Authority to monitor rack usage.
The OBC log book allows others to see if a rower is out much longer than expected, and it lets people know when to lock the boathouse. In addition, the record allows the OBC board to monitor equipment use, which helps guide equipment purchases.
Rinse and wipe shells after each use.
If you are sure you are the last person from the boathouse on the water, return all shells on racks to the bay and lock up.
Other than foot stretchers, tracks, and oarlock spacers, do not adjust the rigging on the shells.
Also, do not adjust the rigging on the oars.
OBC shells are for the use of OBC members only.
Guests of an OBC member may row in the same boat with the hosting member.
Guests who want to use an OBC 1x must have permission of a board member.
Members with less than one year’s sculling experience should not take guests on outings.
Guests are allowed two rows per season, after which they must obtain an OBC membership
Anyone under 18 years of age may not use OBC equipment unless accompanied by an experienced member 20 years of age or older.
Do not use other individuals’ or clubs’ equipment without permission: unauthorized use of any equipment at Sandy Run may result in expulsion from the Park.
Our newer shells are restricted to experienced rowers. If you would like to row one of these shells, you must be an experienced rower and have approval from the OBC board.
Prior to rowing a restricted shell for the first time (which will have an "R" before it's name, such as RD11, RQ03), please contact the OBC President or the OBC Commodore to discuss.
When the reservoir has a lot of debris, use good judgment deciding whether to launch.
If you want to reserve a boat for a home or an away race, send your request to commodore@rowobc.org. The list of reservations is posted in the Boat Reservations folder in the OBC Members Area of the website.
For away races, please read the OBC Boat Travel Guidance document that answers common questions and issues.
Please check shells for damage before launching and after each outing. If you see that a shell has been damaged:
Write a note on the whiteboard in the boathouse
If the shell should not be rowed, attach a red flag to it (available under the whiteboard)
Email the Commodore as soon as possible
Provide an account of what happened.
Describe the damage, and include your phone number.
