- To stop a crew (not the whole race):
- Raise the White Flag vertically,
- Name the crew,
- Give the command: "Stop", or "Obstruction. Stop".
Home > Rowing > Umpires flag signals > Stopping a crew
Stopping a crew is normally a last resort, and will generally only be used if there is a serious problem. If instructed to stop rowing, the crew involved must respond immediately to the instruction. If the crew has been stopped because it is in danger of hitting a permanent obstruction off the course 2-5-3e ("Obstruction, stop"), then it may restart once it has sorted its steering out. It it has been stopped for any other reason 2-5-4c ("Stop"), it may not restart.
NB If a crew fails to stop immediately when instructed to do so and continues to race, it is very likely to be disqualified when it finishes.
