To ensure a finish time is recorded and to avoid disqualification all crews must pass between the Middlesex side of the moored boats at Putney and the finish boat. Racing crews must pass through the centre arches of Chiswick and Putney Bridges and the Bridges on the course. As you approach the finish please be aware of the line of buoys separating you from retunring crews. see map below
AFTER CROSSING THE FINISH LINE ALL CREWS MUST PROCEED THROUGH PUTNEY BRIDGE AND FULHAM RAIL BRIDGE BEFORE TURNING ON TO SURREY. THIS IS A MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY REQUIREMENT AND FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION.
Crews returning to their boathouses must not impede crews racing and must accordingly give way to these crews. Returning crews must not attempt to overtake crews still marshalling in order to return to their boathouses. Crews returning to Hammersmith must await the direction of a Marshal stationed on the Surrey side above Hammersmith Bridge to cross the river to the club houses on the Middlesex side at Hammersmith.
 Crews returning to Boathouses above Hammersmith Pier must await the instruction of the Marshal by St Pauls Boathouse before crossing.
Crews returning to Barnes, Mortlake, Chiswick and Kew must paddle up the Surrey side to opposite Chiswick Pier where they must await the direction of a Marshal before crossing to the Middlesex side. They must then paddle up the Middlesex side keeping well clear of crews racing and behind the last crew marshalling in Division Seven.
