Flag

The Flag is set by the CUCBC Executive Committee to instruct as to which crews may boat given the current river conditions (wind, stream, fog etc.).

Yellow/Green FlagThe flag is currently Yellow/Green
Boating is restricted to University crews and Senior Crews and tub pairs. No novice cox may steer a boat under these conditions. Members of crews permitted to boat under a Yellow / Green 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.

N.B. Where the Flag permits a given crew to boat (i.e. green or yellow flag), the final decision lies with the cox and coach as to whether that crew is able to handle the conditions and thus whether boating is appropriate.

Flag Outlook

Yellow/Green has been set for Saturday morning. The forecast suggests wind gusts will pick up suddenly throughout the day and this is to minimise the risk of novice crews being caught in sudden poor weather. This will be reviewed at 10:30am.

Yellow flag is expected from mid afternoon as conditions worsen.

The current Flag status can be accessed on a WAP phone (http://m.cucbc.org/).
