Please Note: Important Practical Information [English]

Over the past year, extensive work has been carried out to prepare the Bosbaan for the 2026 Staatsloterij World Rowing Championships. Unfortunately, not all of the planned works have yet been completed. As a result, this will also affect the 2026 Koninklijke Holland Beker.

On Friday 5 June, we were informed that the honorary pontoon, the natural grandstand and the area between them will not be available during our regatta. Consequently, the event village and the winner ceremonies have been relocated.

Adjusted Winner Ceremony Procedure

Winning a race is a special achievement, and we believe it is important to recognise all winners appropriately. As it will not be possible this year to dock directly at the honorary pontoon after racing, an adjusted ceremony procedure will be in place.

We kindly ask all winning crews to report to the desk in the medal tent, located within the event village, 40 minutes after their finish. The medal ceremony for finals will then take place at the nearby podium 45 minutes after the race. In this way, we hope to give all winners the celebration and recognition they deserve.

Additional Information Regarding the Bosbaan Renovation:

Missing buoy line
Due to a technical fault, the buoy line between lanes 5 and 6 is currently not in place.

Temporary changing facilities
The permanent changing rooms are not fully available. As an alternative, temporary mobile changing facilities have been installed on site. These are free to use, although crews should be aware that less space may be available than usual.

Boat trailer parking
It will not be possible to position boat trailers adjacent to the pontoons. All boat trailers must instead be parked along the approach road to the venue.

Access to the Regatta Office
The Regatta Office remains located, as usual, on the ground floor of the finish tower. However, due to the ongoing works around the grandstand, access routes may differ slightly from those in previous years.

We understand that these circumstances require a degree of flexibility from everyone involved. We are doing everything possible to ensure that both the racing and the venue are organised to the highest standard. We appreciate your understanding regarding those matters that are beyond our control.
