Documents and Protocols

NOTE: This page is under construction. Documents will be added as they are reviewed and updated.

Operating Procedures Manual (OPM). This is designed as a reference source for our Junior Sailing Events. It focuses on organisation, risk management, safety and emergency procedures and explains how the risks are to be managed. The OPM and the associated documents can be downloaded here.

Water Based Facilities Regulations. The object of these regulations is to encourage members to utilise and enjoy club facilities by adhering to protocols that achieve a high standard of safety without unduly constraining sailing activities. The Regulations cover club moorings, pontoons, tender and paddleboat berths on the pontoon, rowing boats, club motor boats, club dinghies, the bosun’s locker including outboard storage, VHF’s, and Special Interest Group (SIG) activities. The Regulations can be downloaded here
