T/CRAS 0001-2025 Specification for Coastal Rowing Boats and Equipment

Scope

This document mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Scope of application and term definitions (1) Specify that the standard applies to coastal rowing boats and their accessories used in training and competitions, define the definition of coastal rowing boats, clarify the Chinese names of key components such as oar pins and oar ring cores in coastal rowing equipment, and standardize professional terms such as boat length and width, to unify industry understanding. (2) Classify coastal rowing boats into single-oar double-rowing boats (C1x), double-oar double-rowing boats (C2x), four-oar double-rowing boats with a coxswain (C4x+), and four-oar single-oar boats with a coxswain (C4+), and note that there is no C4+ event in beach sprint competitions. This classification and its abbreviations are consistent with those of the World Rowing Federation for coastal rowing events. 2. Technical requirements (1) Specify the maximum length, minimum width, minimum weight, and second crossbeam measurement point parameters for different types of boats, and clarify that the weight of training boats can be adjusted as needed. (2) Set general requirements for boat load-bearing components, prohibiting the use of substances that alter the natural properties of water. Specify details such as the adjustable range of the footrest bracket tilt angle, quick-release boat shoes design, and slide rail length. Clarify the structural requirements for stabilizer and steering rudders, and the size standards for the coxswain's cabin. Enhance safety performance from aspects such as sealed compartments, self-draining design, safety buoyancy, and towing ropes. Standardize requirements for identification marks such as production nameplates, boat numbers, and manufacturer's logos. Set technical indicators such as blade thickness, deflection, residual deformation, and oar pin breaking load. 3. Inspection and measurement Specify the inspection environment and outline the sp
