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.).

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

Stream is still strong. Crews are reminded that a green flag is not a license to boat. Crews and their coxes should strongly consider if they can handle the conditions.

Leave plenty of distance from the lock while spinning. Crews are reminded it is safest to push off and land bowball facing into the stream.

Further reminder those not a college 1st boat may not boat until 11:15am.

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