All boats must have a torch or lantern to prevent collisions.

These are available through Rowing NSW or The Boat Shop.
ONLINE COACHING AND OFFICIATING COURSES

These courses help coaches and officials to learn basic skills and they are available free of charge to Australian coaches and officials due to a subsidy provided by the ASC that's designed to encourage beginner coaches and officials to take up training. While these courses are not currently recognised by SLSA as prior training, it is suggested that members can investigate these courses as a form of additional learning.
