This regatta is designed to allow athletes to enjoy the end of the High School Season by being able to pay one flat fee to enter, and race as much as they want to all day. The cost per athlete is $25.00 and will give them up to 4 races. Please be sure your athletes are aware of all the necessary rules of racing including following Umpire commands and how “Quick Starts” work. Please check that your boats have secure bowballs, proper heel straps/ties and a bow marker holder. The course will be a roughly buoyed course with markers approximately every 150 meters. The start will be a floating start approximately 800m East of the dock and will conclude just West of the docks. ​
Hot Seating We don’t have an additional hot seating dock so all transitions will be made at the main dock. Please have a coach present at the dock when a switch is being made to ensure a safe and speedy change over. Hot seating will only be permitted for races that have a 3 race gap. If you are not able to accommodate all your crews due to a lack of equipment please ask regatta organizers if additional host club equipment is available. Please make every effort to reduce the amount of equipment changes and adjustments on the dock. Trailering All trailers may be parked on the grass to the west of the club, and we ask that only vehicles that are towing trailers go onto the grass. Only trailers may remain parked on the grass. There is ample parking in the lot or on the road. Parking The City of Barrie has implemented a paid parking policy throughout all lakeshore parking lots. All parking is now paid parking. Please use the pay and display kiosks at the parking lots to avoid fines. Barrie residents must display their parking pass to avoid fines. IMPORTANT NOTICE: When submitting your entries we required you to submit a license plate numbers for any vehicles that plan on parking on the grass. Example: trailering trucks or car topping vehicles. Municipal Law enforcement may issue tickets to anyone who has not submitted their plate number through us. Race Schedule Events with launch and race times are attached and will be followed as close as possible. These events are staggered to try to alleviate pressure on boats and athletes. We will be able to race 5 boats at a time. Times will be taken and placement will be determined by time for events with more than one race Entries The entry fee for all High School athletes is ​
$25.00 ​
and is payable through credit card through the online registration system. The school will receive a wrist band for each athlete registered. ​

Uniforms With only a roughly buoyed course we ask that all crews be sure they are supplied with a bow marker, and their school colors or uniforms are clearly visible. We encourage crews to have fun with their racing outfits but ask that they are tasteful and that they are distinguishable by the other teams and umpires. Points Overall Barrie High School Sprints Trophy will go to the team that accumulates the most points. Please note: events with less than 3 entries may be run with another event but will not count towards total points.
