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

The forecast for Wednesday morning is VERY COLD and windy. The view of the Committee is that the current forecast does not yet meet the criteria for a yellow flag; however, we will be monitoring the situation closely, and the flag may change before novice boating time. Please check before boating.
A green flag is not an instruction to boat. Captains and coaches must consider very carefully whether an outing is advisable. Coxes should also be confident in their ability to cope with the wind.
If outings do go ahead, please make sure all rowers and coxes are dressed warmly (including hats) and consider taking space blankets with the bank party. Bank parties should take care on the towpath.

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