Great video Zach. A note I have, on the GC we had a 3 boat trip. We felt it made more sense for the 1st boat in to park near the downstream end of eddy, to set a limit /goal for the next 2 boats, and keep together if other trips arrived. Worked for us.
Well done Zach! We'll be discussing this exact content at our first staff meeting of the season 2022.
Yep we are constantly training on this too
New boater here. Good advice. Thank you and keep them coming
I was/am a fan of leap frogging boats, as general best practices. (Southeastern class V trip leader). Numerous reasons that would take paragraphs.
It certainly depends on everyone you’re boating with being solid
Really great video, Zach!
Thanks Zach. Will you comment on what close spacing is in terms of feet or boat lengths? Also, how should that spacing change in relation to the difficulty of the run?
The exact distance depends on a lot of factors. What I can tell you is that you want to be close enough that you can effectively rescue swimmers while minimizing the chances of collisions. I would personally choose to err on the side of being too close (and potentially colliding) so that you can provide a quick rescue of a swimmer.
Great vid
