Rowing Boat ID (Boat Codes)

New ARA Rules
As of April 2009 boat ID's (or boat codes) are a requirement for all boats in all ARA areas (across the country - not just the Thames area). So if you are planning on racing in the UK you will need to order a pair for your boat (visiting foreign boats included).

Regulations
The regulations state that the codes should be 60mm high and of a colour that stands out against the boat and in a clear font. I usually use a black or white code using Arial bold font. The codes consist of 3 letters (club ID - see right panel) and 3 numbers (boat ID). The codes should be placed on a vertical surface of the boat, above the waterline.
