- Give way to crews coming upstream or racing
- If you stop, pull over and let other crews pass
- Let faster crews overtake if possible
- No crew should spin where they may impede another crew
- No crew has the right of way if on the wrong side of the river
- Stay at least 50m away from the weirs – more if there is a fast stream
