How to enter a International Federation Event
1. Making an Entry
Entry processes for each event can be found on the relevant event website. British Rowing will update here if entries are required to be made through British Rowing.
2. Club Ranking
British Rowing will rank crews based on the Selection and Ranking Policy for International Endurance Coastal Sculling Events found above.
3. GB Selection
British Rowing will select rowers to race as Great Britain once the British Rowing Offshore Championships has taken place. Rowers that have successfully met requirements will be contacted by British Rowing.
Any rowers that were unable to take part in the British Rowing Offshore Championships but wish to race as Great Britain must contact coastalscullingranking@britishrowing.org at least one month before the close of entries to be considered.
4. Anti-doping
All competitors, coaches and support staff are bound by the UK Anti-Doping Rules as adopted by British Rowing. All coaches and competitors will be required to complete Clean Sport e-learning before competing at the World Rowing Coastal Championships. Please note that once you have registered on the Clean Sport Hub, the relevant e-learning will appear in the “My Learning” tab. Upon completion of the e-learning, you must upload your certificate to your British Rowing Profile. This is done as follows:
1. Log in to the British Rowing membership system
2. On ‘My Profile’ go to ‘Credentials’
3. Click ‘Add Credential’
4. Type ‘Clean Sport’ and select from the available options the credential you are uploading.

Events will generally update their relevant event webpages and release a number of bulletins in the run-up to the event with information about the event. Please check the links above for the latest information.
Help and FAQs
Attending the event
It is the responsibility of each club/crew to make sure they have everything they need for the event. As the member federation, British Rowing is responsible for ranking entries, ensuring they are members of British Rowing and that they have completed Clean Sport e-learning but not the logistical day to day support for crews entered.
Coastal Rowing Kit
British Rowing do not have a set kit supplier for the World Rowing Coastal Championships. For clubs/crews wishing to purchase kit for the event make sure you are aware of the World Rowing Rules before making any orders.
