The Rules of Racing have been changed to specify that heel restraints must ensure that each shoe is independently restrained and that the restraints should not allow the heel to lift more than 7 cm. This brings Scotland into line with the position adopted by FISA some years ago and by British Rowing earlier this year. The new rule comes into effect on 1 January 2017.
At the same time, the Rules have been updated to replace 'Veteran' with 'Master'
A revised version of the Rules of Racing is available on this website.
The Water Safety Code is also being revised to make sure that the heel restraint requirements are consistent.

If identifying one person in Scottish rowing – during Women's Sport Week - who best symbolises what is good about the sport is an impossible task, then Castle Semple’s Clare Rainbow is a serious contender.
As a competitor, Clare has won Scottish, English and British Indoor Championships in the last 12 months.
Yet surprisingly the 52 year old from the Bridge of Weir does not have an extensive sports background - indeed until recently she never even owned a pair of trainers.

In view of the high winds forecast for tomorrow, we have assessed the situation and decided to cancel tomorrow’s Rio Regatta at Strathclyde Park in the interests of the safety and well-being of the participants.
It is with regret that we have made this decision but do not feel it is sensible or appropriate to expose beginners or inexperienced participants to the potential risk of difficult water conditions.
We are looking at options for a future event aimed at new entrants to the sport.
Scottish Rowing would like to thank all the clubs, volunteers and other partners who have supported the event.
