A few RTD FAQ’s
How many people do I need to make a crew
You need a minimum of 12 paddlers, plus a drummer. On the day you’ll be paddling against crews of up to 16, so try to get to that magic number. There is also room for 4 reserves on the crew sheet, so you can have up to 20 paddlers taking part in the day, plus a drummer.
Are there any age limits?
There are no upper age limits, but we do have an age limit lower down the scale for safety reasons. 12 is the minimum age.
WHAT TYPE OF CREW CAN ENTER?
All crews race against each other on the day, but there are prizes for each category:
o Junior / U18 means min. 12 paddlers are under the age of 18 on race day
o Ladies are all women
o Mixed means a minimum of 6 women and 6 men paddling in your crew (that’s on the water, not just your crew sheet and race marshals do check)
o Open means just that. If you are not a junior, ladies or mixed crew you are an open crew.
