Introduction

When you join the club, you agree to comply with all the Club Rules, and agreed policies, and procedures. Members introducing or receiving visiting sailors or windsurfers must ask them to complete a day sailing form or open entry form; these forms also include a declaration agreeing to comply with club rules, policies, and procedures, plus a statement on limitations of the club’s liability.

This page contains the club rules, policies, and procedures. The authority for the main rules is the club’s Constitution (see section 22 of this document); this can only be changed by a Special General Meeting.

Other club rules, policies, and procedures, including Standing Orders (section 3), have been developed over the years to ensure members can participate in club activities in a enjoyable, and safe manner. The club’s Management Committee is empowered to write and amend such rules, policies, and procedures.

The club has agreed that its rules, including those concerning safety, sailing matters, and training, will be consistent with the guidelines of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA).
