Read more Safety guidelines All participants should be able to swim confidently. Alcohol consumption is not allowed on the water either. Keep distance from other watercraft. Canoes must always give way and are sometimes poorly regarded by the drivers of motorboats. Starting time must be coordinated with the tide times to avoid a route against the current of up to 8 km/h.
