22 participants per boat (including 1 drummer and 1 steerperson - to be
provided by the festival). A team may
practice or race with a minimum of sixteen (16) paddlers per boat plus 1
drummer. Teams may register in the following categories; Mixed
Recreational, Mixed Competitive and All-Female. Practices are booked on a
first come first serve basis. All sessions that are cancelled due to bad
weather will be rescheduled, time permitting. Exceptions will be considered by the Festival Race Committee.
