Quintin Head Cancelled

Jan 26, 2026

Sadly, the decision had to be taken on Friday to cancel the Quintin Head, as the PLA fluvial flow flag was set to ‘red’ and there was the likelihood of more rain before race day. As the fates would have it, the flag turned to ‘amber’ on Saturday, but club members who took to the water on Sunday reckoned the stream would have presented very challenging conditions for marshalling, even on the ‘amber’ flag. C’est la vie!
