Whilst we provide boat racking at the finish line, we are not able to provide this service at the Princes Bridge start line area. You may care to contact some of the Princes Bridge clubs to seek out assistance in advance if this is going to be an issue for you.
Please note that overnight security is provided at both the finish line area (boat racks available from noon Friday) and start line area (no boat racks provided, private arrangements to be made).

Overnight security is provided at the finish line area Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Boat trailers can be parked in the Yarra Bank Reserve car park until sunset Friday night (by which time you can transfer your boats to the boat racks erected on Friday). Trailers must then be moved up to Creswick Street at the top of the Reserve driveway. Creswick Street is closed to traffic so trailers can be parked there.

Overnight security is provided at the start line area on Friday and Saturday nights. Boats should be stored in the area between Richmond Rowing Club and Princes Bridge where security will be set up for the protection of your equipment.

Please note Hawthorn Rowing Club offers this free (without responsibility) overnight security service. HOY management in no way guarantee the overnight safety of your boats and equipment. It would be of assistance if visitors could provide a contact mobile number to be conveyed to the security guard. Similarly, a contact number for the security guard will be provided to you.
