Details
Those in charge of all boats in this vicinity must conform with these directions and with any special directions which, at the discretion of a Harbour Master, may be required in particular circumstances during these dates.
While the Henley Royal Regatta course is being dismantled, the following restrictions apply to all boats navigating between Henley Bridge and the downstream end of Temple Island:
- all boats travelling downstream must navigate within the regatta course from the regatta finish to the barrier.
- all boats travelling upstream must navigate on the Bucks bank/Fawley side of the regatta course.
- any boat can cross the course from one side of the river to the other provided they do not obstruct other boats in so doing.
- no boats can moor to the regatta course piles, booms or boxes or to the bank in the area known as The Narrows (The Narrows is indicated with an X on the map below).
- during the dismantling of the regatta course please take particular care when passing through the reach, as tugs and piling driving/lifting barges will be operating.
It is an offence to fail to conform with the directions in this notice or to obstruct an officer of the Environment Agency in the execution of their duty or to fail to obey directions given regarding the navigation, mooring or unmooring of any boat.
Furthermore, we hereby advise that the regatta course including all the piles, booms and boxes are the property of Henley Royal Regatta. The Regatta may choose to take civil action against any person who causes damage to their structures.
