Notes on registration: the system is designed to submit entries for a given boat through a club or a coach unless you plan to row in a single. For rowers coming from overseas who would like to enter an entire boat, your boat captain should create an account with Regatta Central and register your names. Online payments are accepted in multiple currencies. For any individual rowers who would like to race in a boat, you don’t need to register with Regatta Central. The boat captain or the coach will register your name. To find a seat in a boat, list yourself in the GLRF Seat Search service.
