PARENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES
TACKERS -Please online registration has been completed before sailing session.
OPTI, CADET and 420 FLEET - Club Membership, Training Registration Form and Medical Form must be completed before the sailing session. All of which are available at the registration desk.
For insurance purposes we do require your child to become a club member after two sessions, if they wish to continue to participate in the training program.

Parents or carers are encouraged to stay at the club for the entire training session and may sometimes be required to help on the beach and in/on the water; ultimately, you will be responsible for your child/children on the day.

WEATHER REPORTS
If the weather isn’t looking great (very windy, raining, large waves) please still be at the club at 9.15 am ready for a theory session in the clubroom; unless you are advised that the training session has been cancelled.

USE OF CLUB BOATS
For those who do not own a boat, we have boats available at the club to use for training and they will be allocated on the day. If you are unsure whether you have been allocated a club boat, please see a coach or official.

It will be the sailor (and parent) responsibility to pack up your boat after training.
Please make sure the boat you have used for the session is washed and put away at the end of the training.
A coach or official will show you how, if it’s your first time.
