Safety

Health and Safety

Although sailing is a fun sport it's important to take adequate precautions.

These include:

Obtaining a weather forecast before you get on the water

Wearing appropriate buoyancy aids while on the slip way or in small boats

Wearing appropriate clothing while on the water, which (as with all British seaside locations) can be very cold regardless of the air temperature

Taking care while using the slipway, which can be affected by seaweed

Being aware of tide direction and impact

Checking your boat before you put it in the water

The club will ensure there is adequate rescue cover for club organised events (dinghy instruction and racing). At all times however each person must decide whether the weather conditions are within their capability.

9 of our members have RYA Rescue Boat qualification and a further 5 are qualified in Level 2 power boat use.
