What is the difference between General Sweeps and HOTC Prep?
General Sweeps Independent Boats (aka Buddy Boats) are for individuals that are at a minimum SQL
certified or are a member of a submitted crew that meets the SaM mandatory certification requirements for an
8+ boat. Five (5) of the eight (8) rowers in the shell must be SQL certified. This is NOT designated as a
coached program. ALL members that row as an independent boat must be registered in the General Sweeps
Program. A Crossbar group is available on the Crossbar app with all members who have registered/paid to
row in the General Sweeps Program. This app is also a source for finding other rowers or substitutes qualified
to row General Sweeps. Novice/first year rowers must have coaching approval to join General Sweeps.
HOTC Preparation Program: This is a 4-week program (Aug 18, Aug 25, Sept 8 and Sept. 14). This is NOT
a coached program. However, there will be coaches on safety launches at the blind turns for supervision. The HOTC Prep Program ends on Sept.14th . There will be no make-up or additional rows permitted.
