FAQ

Sharing of boats and/or coxswains

The race-schedule is very tight due to closure of the river for other imbarcations. Thus, double-use of boats or coxswains by different crews (even in different categories) is not possible.

Boat rental

For crews interested in renting a boat for the race, we recommend contacting our partner Empacher.

Starting order

The provisory start list will be published on the website a few days before the race. Whenever possible, the starting order is based on results of previous editions (fastest crews start first).

Entries/crew changes

To enter your crews for the BaselHead, you need to create an account on the registration tool “Regasoft” following this link: https://regasoft.swissrowing.ch/portal/Identity/Account/Register?returnUrl=%2Fportal%2FRegatta

Please enter your crews early, as the race is limited to 100 boats. If you don’t know the names of the athletes who will be competing, just fill in the form without the names. Doing so, you can secure a starting spot for your team as early as possible. You can change the crew names on Regasoft until the entries deadline on Friday October 25th 2024.

Training

On Friday, training is permitted from 12am to 5pm (latest push-off 4pm). All crews must have a white position light.

On Saturday, training is permitted from 10-12am.

Coxswains

Coxswains need to be prepared for the race, as the course is technically demanding. Please read the race regulations carefully.

Party

Due to vandalism of some teams after previous editions, the BaselHead organising committee does no longer organise an “after-party”. Basel has a wide range of bars, restaurants and nightclubs!
