For 2011 we have decided to issue a Head of the Yarra T-Shirt to every competitor. A small increase has been made in the entry fee to cover this. This move is in line with trends in other sports, such as cycling, where event-related clothing is included in the entry.

T-Shirts have been ordered in six sizes (XS/8, S/10-12, M/14, L/16-18, XL/20, XXL/30). Once registrations closed competing crews were contacted by email to find out which combinations of sizes they would like. There was a terrific response, with size information supplied for about 170 crews.

The T-Shirts have been packed in a bag for each crew, and will be issued as follows:

1. at the Briefing Session at the Hawthorn clubhouse at 6pm, Friday 25th November.
2. at the bow-number return, also at the Hawthorn clubhouse on Saturday 26th of November.

There will be some opportunity to swap sizes, but we are low on the larger sizes. There are some spare T-Shirts, which will be available for sale.
