National Division B Races |
 |
| The entry level division, Any paddler who is not ranked in Division A
races is in Division B, but there are Open Events at both Division A
and Division B races throughout the year. In kayaks, there are separate
classes for Men (K1M) and Women (K1W). Both men and women paddlers
compete together in the C1 and C2 classes. Newcomers are recommended to
select a local Division B race first. Division A races are generally
held on more difficult rivers and are usually not suitable for Novices
to Wild Water Racing, unless they have considerable white water
paddling experience. A calendar of races is published annually in the
BCU Wild Water Racing Yearbook, and also in the British Canoe Union
Yearbook and "Canoe Focus".
Both sprint and classic format races
are held in division B. Composites, Wavehoppers and U3.5m boats can be
used in division B, wavehoppers will receive 7% advantage, U.35m 9% and
C1s and C2s 13%.
