<div name="messageBodySection">Further to the below, please also ensure your coxes are reminded to stay on the correct side of Green Dragon (aka Chesterton) corner (i.e. the inside of the corner when heading downstream), even if they have boated at lighting down.<br />
<br />
We've had a few complaints from town clubs, who are often heading back upstream around the current time of lighting down, and have met college crews going dangerously wide (what's particularly concerning is that they've all been college first eights!).<br />
<br />
Best wishes,<br />

<div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"lucida grande",verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px">Secondly, a reminder to coxswains regarding life jackets when coxing bow loaded boats. You <b>MUST NOT</b> use <b>automatically inflating life jackets</b> when coxing a <b>bow loader</b>. If the life jacket doesn't have a pull chord to inflate, assume it is an automatically inflating jacket (meaning it'll inflate upon submersion in water). If a bow loader capsizes, an automatic life jacket can inflate, trapping you in the boat under the water, so it is imperative you wear a manual one which you can inflate if required when you've gotten out of the boat. </span></div>
