漕艇もプールを漕いでいるだけなら問題はないでしょうが、コースの無い湖、岸が有っても上陸できないような水域を漕ぐ為には、それなりの安全上のルールが必用です。
そこでニュージーランドの規則をご紹介します。
Rowing Water Safety Code 2016
です。
2.Preparation to go Rowing
2.1. Type of Rowing
a) Supported – skiffs which are accompanied by a support vessel and remain under their supervision (all boats remain within 500m of each other).
b) Observed – skiffs which are in sheltered waters (where flow is stagnant and the sides of the waterway are less than 200 meters apart) and are under the observation of an individual who is not in a vessel but is able to summon additional help if required.
c) Unsupported – skiffs which are not accompanied by a support vessel in unsheltered waters and each person is carrying an easily accessible approved floatation belt on their skiff.
2.2. Responsibility to be assigned
a) The Stroke is responsible for the rowing crew and is considered the skipper of the skiff.
b) The driver of the support vessel is considered the skipper of that vessel.
2.3. Supervision of Crews
a) The Coach (or person in a support vessel) is at all times responsible for the safety of all crews under their observation. Making due allowance for weather, water, ability of crews and other conditions, it is incumbent upon the coach or support person, to make an assessment of the number of crews for which they can safely be responsible and supervise. All crews and the support vessel need to remain within 500m of each other otherwise they are no longer under supervision and will then be required to carry an easily accessible approved flotation belt on their skiff. (It is recommended that one support vessel observe no more than three crews) 2.4. Checks to complete The Coach/Support Person and Stroke will ensure that: a) all members of the crew are suitably attired for the rowing conditions

a) they are suitably attired for the rowing conditions
b) if they are rowing in unsheltered waters without the supervision of a support vessel then each person must carry on board an easily accessible approved floatation belt on their skiff. Approved 30th September 2016

一寸読みでがありますが、安全に十分過ぎるは無いようです。
