COURSE MAP

 

For those who have rowed in the Head of the Passaic in previous years, there are some important changes to the course to keep in mind:

  • The course has been changed to avoid problems with ongoing construction at one of the bridges - hence even if you rowed the course before join us at the Coxswain meeting!
  • Two-way traffic will be maintained on the river at all times.  Boats will race on the west side (left side on the map) of the river, then return to their dock on the east (right) side.
  • Only the bridge arches designated by buoys may be used.  Going through a different arch is dangerous and will be penalized.
  • No passing zones start some distance before each bridge (indicated by buoys).
  • After finishing, boats should row to the large red buoy before turning around.
  • Docking is allowed during the race at all docks, subject to the discretion of the dock master.
