• Competition Format

    Boat categories include the single, the double and the quadruple four. The coxed four is a recognised coastal rowing boat class, but is not currently offered at the World Rowing Coastal Championships. The style of competition considerably differs from Olympic rowing. No lanes are defined, and the course is triangle in form, representing a total distance of six kilometres: women cover the course once and men twice, with only one race per boat category.
