Buoyancy aids must be worn when on or near the water.
The jetty must not be obstructed.
Members are responsible for the safety of their guests.
Parents are responsible for the safety of their children.
A First-Aid kit is located in the Clubhouse. Report any accidents and First-Aid kit usage in the Accident Report book.
SECURITY:

Members are responsible for their own property and that of their guests.
The equipment shed and Clubhouse must be locked before the site is left unattended.
CONVENIENCE AND COURTESY:
Members are responsible for the conduct of their children and guests.
Dogs must be kept under control at all times and must not foul the site. Any mess must be cleared up.
The Clubhouse must be left in a clean and tidy condition with the windows closed and lights and taps turned off.
Take your refuse home for disposal. There is no disposal facility at the site.
Return any Club equipment to its proper storage location after use and ensure that Club boats are properly stored and secured. Record boat usage in the Logbook in the shed.
Avoid any activities (e.g. ball games, etc.) that could cause damage to other members’ boats or parked cars.
Close the boom if yours is the last boat out of the water.
CHILD PROTECTION POLICY:
The child’s welfare is paramount
All children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity, have a right to protection from abuse.
All suspicions and allegations of inappropriate behaviour will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately.
As defined in the Children Act 1989, anyone under the age of 18 years should be considered as a child for the purposes of this document.
RACING CHARTER:
PRINCIPLES & PRACTICES
The sport welcomes all participants; it relies largely on self-compliance and self-policing. Those that deliberately take unfair advantage of this or behave in an inappropriate manner, either on or off the water, can expect to be brought to account.
Competitors agree to compete and behave in compliance with the rules and in accordance with accepted standards of sailboat racing. When involved in a genuine dispute, both the parties to the dispute and those deciding the matter will use the established procedures for achieving resolution.
Foul or abusive language, intimidation, aggressive behaviour or lack of respect for others and their property will not be tolerated.
Organizers, officials and other providers of sailboat racing agree to strive to provide the fairest racing possible. This includes encouraging feedback and facilitating the resolution of genuine disputes (including protests) in a timely and proper manner.
Coaches and other advisors agree to encourage their charges to compete, officiate or behave only in compliance with the above principles and practices.
