the club. Members aged 16 or over, who sail will be expected to help with duties on the Water, such as Officer of the Day (OD),

Assistant Officer of the Day (AOD), Safety Officer (SO), Assistant Safety Officer (ASO). Usually 4 duties per year is

the norm. Allocation of duties is by the Rear Commodore, but you may volunteer via the dutyman system (see website).

Non sailors are always needed to help out in the galley, behind the bar or with other in-house activities.

You are not expected to carry out any duty beyond your capabilities.
