Volunteers
The success of our training programs relies heavily on participation of our Parent Volunteers to give assistance to our youth sailors, create a positive environment and form our Race Committee who play a key role within our Club Dinghy Series.
Volunteer Roles range from manning the sausage sizzle, launching and retrieving dinghies, Coxswain, Race Officer, Flags Person, Scribe and Mark Layers. We host induction days, run power boating courses and promote Australian Sailing e-learning courses to ensure our parents are skilled in these areas.
