During the Raceroei Regatta, all boats will be weighed for each race. Below you can find answers to some frequently asked questions:

How much should my boat weigh?
Boat weight requirements are specified in Article 19 of the ‘reglement voor roeiwedstrijden’ (page 13; Dutch).

When will my boat be weighed?
After each race, a selection of boats will be weighed at random. It is possible that your boat is selected after both your heat and your final.

Where does the weighing take place?
Weighing takes place in the rear aisle of the boathouse (as counted from the finish line). Both test weighings and official weighings happen at this location.

How does the weighing process work?
If your boat is selected, the Control Commission will notify you as soon as you take your boat out of the water. They will escort you to the scales.

What happens if my boat is underweight?
If your boat is found to be underweight for the first time, you will be placed last in the results for that race. If it happens again during the event, you will be excluded from the corresponding race.

Can I do a test weighing?
Yes, you can. Test weighings are allowed before the start of the first races and up to 20 minutes after the last race of the day. Test weighings are also possible during official weighing times, but official checks have priority. Please note that there may be a queue. See below for a sample schedule.
