Cover is provided in three levels as follows:
- When Club or Open Meeting racing is taking place there will be a patrol boat in attendance.
- At other weekend times from 9am until 5pm there will be a watch kept and safety response as necessary.
- During weekdays and evenings the water will be checked at intervals by the Duty Officer.
As a Club members you have a duty to both yourself and other Club members as regards safety. You can improve your own safety situation by:
- Sail where you can be easily observed.
- Follow directions on the sailing areas. [*]
- Do not sail in conditions beyond your competence.
Your duty to other members includes:
- Help or get help for anyone you see requiring it on the water.
- Alert the Duty Officer to any situation that you observe that may need attention.
|
[*] - Sailing is normally permitted on the West only. Check
the Day Board (inside the Club back door, for details). Training often takes place
on the East but this does not mean you can sail there as they may go ashore and
leave you without cover. If you want to launch into the East and sail round to
the West you must clear it with the Duty Officer first.
