Incident Reports:

Rowers have a new reporting procedure. We have created an incident reporting form in conjunction with Coal Harbour stakeholders that we are implementing immediately. A copy of this form can be found on the Club website, as well as in the RED binder above the sign-out sheets in the shell bay. All incidents are to be reported and include:

  • collision/allision with any other marine vessel, floatplane
  • collision/allision with dock/marine structures (bad dockings not included)
  • near misses with above
  • report dangerous behaviour by other harbour users (reckless boating, endangering others, drinking, etc.)

The procedure to follow is:

  • Download PDF form here: Incident Report Form
  • When an incident occurs fill out the form IMMEDIATELY so that all pertinent details are recalled. To the best of your ability please fill out all available information including all parties involved (and their contacts), as well as list of any witnesses.
  • Notify Safety Officer
  • After you've filled out the form completely, contact the Rowing Coordinator AND the Safety officer. The safety officer can be emailed
    at rowing- safety@vancouverrowingclub.ca and the coordinator at row@vancouverrowingclub.ca.
