Details
Those in charge of all boats in the vicinity of this event must conform with these directions and with any special directions which, at the discretion of a Harbourmaster, may be required in particular circumstances during these dates.
All boats travelling downstream must be navigated within the regatta course and all boats travelling upstream must be navigated on the Bucks/Fawley side of the regatta course. Except from 7am on Friday 13 July to 6pm on Saturday 14 July and 8am to 4:30pm on Sunday 15 July (when the navigation channel for all river traffic will be on the Bucks/Fawley side of the regatta course).
Boats can cross the course from one side of the river to the other provided that in doing so they do not impede any other boats.
At no time may any boats be moored within the regatta course, to the bank in the area known as The Narrows, or to the adjacent regatta course booms (The Narrows is indicated with an X on the map below).
Boats may moor to the booms on the Bucks/Fawley side of the regatta course provided no more than two boats lie alongside each other and no mooring lines are attached to any course pile. Cabin boats wishing to moor to enjoy Henley Festival must not moor to the booms until half an hour after the end of the Henley Royal Regatta Prize Giving Ceremony on the afternoon of Sunday 8 July.
No boat can be left unattended to the regatta course booms, piles or boxes at any time.
All boats, including unpowered boats, must display the required navigation lights when navigating after sunset and before sunrise.
On Friday 13 and Saturday 14 July the Henley Master’s Regatta will be taking place within the Regatta Course. Between 7am on Friday 13 July and 6pm on Saturday 14 July only open powered boats and unpowered boats can moor alongside the course downstream of line A at Barn Elms Boathouse on the map overleaf.
Between 8am and 4:30pm on Sunday 15 July an open water swim, The Henley Mile, will be taking place within the Regatta Course downstream from the Mile Mark to the regatta start point.
Additional directions for mooring may be given by Navigation Officers as required.
Furthermore, we hereby advise that the regatta course including all of 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.
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.
