[CUCBC Contacts] Wednesday Results and Notes & Fines

[Conor Burgess]

Dear all,

The towpath isn’t currently snowy or icy, but it is extremely wet and muddy. In addition, it looks like it’s going to keep raining for most of the day. Combine that with the sub-zero wind-chill temperatures and sitting stationary in a boat, and people could be getting very cold. Please ensure all crews and bank parties have sufficient warm, dry kit with them, and ideally some way of staying dry / keeping their spare kit dry for after the race.

Best wishes,
Conor

> • If your crew have caught a boat stopping crab, and the boat behind is very close, coxes can and should concede early to help ensure the boat behind hold it up early. Of course, the cox of the crew behind should be holding it up anyway to avoid a collision with a stationary crew.
> • Bank parties must not tell other crews to concede. Further infringements will result in heavy fining and removal from the towpath.
> • Coxes should listen for instructions from the bank after bumping/being bumped.

> • > Crews are encouraged to row down to the start much faster as we are losing time even without rerows.
