Please Note: Important Practical Information [English]

A lot of hard work has gone into getting the Bosbaan ready for the 2026 Staatsloterij World Rowing Championships over the past year. Unfortunately, not all work has been completed yet. This also impacts the Holland Beker 2026 Regatta.

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.

Weed in regatta course
Please be advised that there is currently a significant amount of weed present in the Bosbaan regatta course. While we are working to mitigate the impact as best we can, we unfortunately do not have the capacity or authority to fully clear the water.

Temporary changing facilities
The permanent changing rooms are not 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.
