Safety and care on the river

0Comments

Please note the different points below regarding rowing safety on the river heading into the Winter.

  • Unless you have passed the steersman’s test ( and you will know if you have been out and assessed!!!!!!!!!!) then you must not be steering even a single by yourself. There is a test for singles , doubles and quads It doesn’t mean you can take a quad if you have only been assessed in a single!!!
  • Remember we pass port to port
  • Ditton Bend is a “blind” bend if you are coming downstream and so keep well in and do not stop on the bend for any reason and remember on a Sunday morning that Skiffs stop on this bend after they have raced.
  • The stream WILL increase sooner or later – once the stream is running faster you must compete a risk assessment before you go out especially at night
  • Check for red boards – no rowing on red or yellow at night
  • Night rowing – there seems to be a feeling that a new rule has been introduced i have just rechecked with the EA and the rule is ” a bright  solid white light on bow and stern”
  • IF you want to go out at night – you must check with jock for his agreement that you are capable unless you are in an organised outing with a coaching launch
  • Fog- you must be able to see the far bank CLEARLY  the other week there were cruisers out in the fog – the closing speed is huge when you cant see them and there is no way they can see you in the fog and often they are not in the right bit of the river!!!!!!
  • Please check the clubs safety document

    It was a calm sunny morning with a slight headwind and a little stream. No problems with equipment or last minute substitutions, everyone arrived on time, eventually, and ready to go. The WJ16 4X- crew had to borrow a boat from St.Georges college as we had difficulties getting all our boats to the event, many thanks must go to Diane Graham and Gareth, head coach at St.Georges, for sorting out the trailing and boat loan.

    Some lessons have been learned about what it is and it is not possible to get on the trailers!

    Everyone enjoyed their day racing and our six winning  results presageth well for the oncoming season.
