[CUCBC Coxes] Yellow Flag

[flag at cucbc.org]

The flag is Yellow.

Boating is restricted to University crews, first VIIIs and tub pairs. During Lent Term, any VIIIs in the first or second division of the Lent Bumps may boat. During Easter Term, any VIIIs in the first or second division of the May Bumps may boat. Members of crews permitted to boat under a Yellow Flag may do so in fours or small boats (i.e. single and double sculls and pairs) with the express permission of the Club Captain and/or Boatman.

Outlook: While visibility has substantially improved since this morning, the Reach remains much foggier than at the boathouses. Conditions are currently borderline, but they are forecast to worsen again for the remainder of the day. As a result the flag will remain yellow.

While CUCBC regrets not setting a provisional yellow yesterday evening, all affected crews are reminded that a green flag is a necessary but not sufficient condition to boat. All crews must make their own safety decisions additional to the CUCBC flagging system, and weather forecasts are available.

May we further remind all crews: if the Cam is yellow-flagged due to fog, you are required to carry white continuous lights on the bow and stern even during daylight hours.
