Volunteers

Interested in sailing?

Please get in touch if you are able to support the club on a regular basis - we will have something to suit your skills.

If you don't mind getting your feet wet it could be on a support boat for Saturday afternoon racing, or if you already have coaching skills assisting with adult learn-to-sail . If you would rather stay dry it could be helping with the Saturday afternoon race results, or helping out with cleaning at a time that suits.


WhatsApp Comms

Members and supporters can now join our WhatsApp community and then add themselves to any number of our WhatsApp groups. These include our weekend and weekday sailing activities as well those covering club management activities.

​​Looking to improve your skills? Its time to start thinking about how you can grow your sailing knowledge - whether you are a junior parent new to sailing, or if you have been around for some time. Coastguard have a range of online courses from Beginning Boating through to Boatmaster, as well as the Maritime VHF Operator Certificate.  For those with more experience YNZ run an online race officer course – even if you are not ready to take on a race officer role you’ll learn a great deal about racing.
