Rule R13 Regarding Jim
Rules and regulations relating to the conduct of boatmen on the Isis
Last updated: 7th December, 1995
R13. High Pintage Conditions - Isis
During high pintage conditions, special rules are in force on the Isis,
as indicated by a flag raised at New College Boathouse:
- Red Flag: Isis closed to all University and College rowers.
Crews rowing on stretches other than the Isis/Godstow do so
entirely at their own risk, and are advised to abide by the advice of
local boat clubs regarding whether it is safe to do so. Be vigilant for
launches driven at high speeds by boatmen wearing Beefeater hats.
- Amber Flag: Isis closed to all College crews except Senior VIIIs.
Crews must spin between the red and white post 100m downstream of Donnington
Bridge and upstream of Haystacks Corner. Beware of erratic punts ferrying
bicycles from OUBC to the boathouses.
- Blue Flag: Isis closed to Novice status coxes.
Crews must spin between the red and white post 100m downstream of Donnington
Bridge and upstream of Haystacks Corner. Don't mail me to tell me this
page isn't funny, I know.
