Event notes

2017 WWR #2 Drain Race


The 2nd of 6 races for the 2017 Wild Water Season - Sunday, June 11, 2017.

Location: Hester Park, Spencer Road Langford
Registration: 07:00-08:00am
Briefing 08:15am
Race start 09:00am

Course:

This is a flat water course, designed to test the paddlers ability to manoeuvre the kayak through narrow sections of river with low hanging trees and slight current. This is a great opportunity for new paddlers who would like to test their boat handling ability, before we enter the races with greater water flow.

The race is open to all boats no more than 4.5m, have no rudders or have their rudders tied up

Sundries Note (Boats not classed wildwater/downriver kayaks)
For those entering in the Sundries category, the Championship is only open to those who are in competition type boats. As such, Sundry results will not be included in the WW season point-score


A car shuffle is not required, with paddlers making their way upstream prior to race start
The course may change due to water levels and paddlers will be kept informed of any changes.


Safety: Helmets & Pfd’s are compulsory. Additional Buoyancy recommended

Due to the course being held in wildwater conditions, it is necessary for all paddlers to wear helmets and pfd’s. It is also recommended for all paddlers to have grab loops on their boats to assist rescue and to have floats/buoyancy inside their boats to ensure boats do not fill with water in the case of a capsize. All paddlers will require cockpit skirts with appropriate grab loop for ease of escape from a capsized boat.
