From conor at cucbc.org Wed Aug 10 21:31:32 2022 From: conor at cucbc.org (Conor Burgess) Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2022 22:31:32 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Weed, powered vessels, and overtaking In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi all, * Captains please forward to your clubs * Due to the very large amount of weed in the Cam, powered vessels are being forced to use the middle of the river to avoid entangling their propellers. As such, they may be more difficult to overtake. However, please remind all of your crews and small boats (and in particular the latter) not to overtake on the ?inside? (meaning overtaking between the boat and the bank it should be nearest to). This is because by doing so, you place that vessel in a very difficult situation should there be another boat coming the other way whereby they are both obliged to move out of the way of that boat and to avoid colliding with you. Instead, you should always overtake on the ?wrong? side of the river, asking the powered vessel if it is clear to come by if you are unable to make that assessment yourself (they almost certainly have a better view than you do, and they should be able to temporarily move closer to the bank they should be nearest to to give you more room to overtake safely).

Additionally, coaching from the bank is not permitted above the Railway Bridge before 07:30. Thank you for your cooperation on this - it?s important that we remain considerate and respectful of other river users and nearby residents, so as not to give the council any reason to step in with a much more heavy handed approach!
