Event Celebration-Cancellation Protocol

In events at sea: the wind, the height of the waves, the water temperature and the swell are the 4 main climatic variables to take into account.

In events on the river: the wind, the fog, the flow of the river and the water temperature are the 4 main climatic variables to take into account.

Consider in a second term weather forecasts and their involvement in the course of the event.

Also take into account safety and pilot partners. The factors, among others, are the number of kayaks, kayakers abilities, the number of boats and means of rescue and evacuation.

As a general guide we will consider the following scale, according to the wind:

  • Wind force 0 and 3, the event will take place normally.
  • Wind force 4 and 5, the Safety Technical Committee will decide the normal development, holding in one of the alternative routes or the cancellation.
  • Wind from force 6, the event will be cancelled to ensure the safety of swimmers and kayakers.

Is over any decision of the Organisation notices of Civil Protection and Emergency services.
