VOLUNTEERING

Gain experience & help at events

Throughout the year the club holds sailing events in the harbour, offshore and from Vetchs beach. All events take a lot of effort to organise and run and the responsibility usually falls on the same people. The more help we can get the more we can share the responsibility and the more races we can organise.
It's always good to give back to the sport what you have gained from it.
