CHARGES FOR TRAINING COURSES, CLUB SAILING AND
USE OF CLUB DINGHIES 2008

TRAINING COURSES

To take part in training courses run by the Club you need to be a member in one of the following categories: Family; Ordinary; Student or Junior.
(as defined in the Club Constitution – see
http://www.chanonry.org.uk)

Charges for most training are well below the commercial rates chiefly because the club instructors give their time and expertise free of charge. Charges therefore are contributions to the running costs of courses - fuel for powerboats and boat maintenance costs etc. Some courses require the Club to hire commercial instructors or examiners; because the Club does not seek to make an operating profit from these courses, they too are well below commercial rates.

CHARGES FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING COURSES IN 2008

CLUB SAILING

The Club owns a number of dinghies used mainly for training. The fleet currently includes 3 Optimists, 3 RS Teras and 2 GP14s. They may only be used when there is Safety Boat cover. They are available for use by members with suitable experience (equivalent to RYA Level 2) following satisfactory completion of an induction session (contact the Training Principal or Sailing Secretary). Use is on a first come first served basis and must be noted in the Club boat record book in the race office and paid for in advance. Failure to comply with these conditions of use will jeopardise that member’s future use of Club boats.

There is a charge towards maintenance/ replacement of £5 per single-hander and £10 per GP14 (different charges apply on Friday Club sailing evenings – see below) – to be placed in the clearly marked box in the Race Office.

Please note the strict requirements, laid down in the handbook, for responsible adults to accompany all children sailing under the age of 16.

FRIDAY CLUB EVENINGS ARE CHANGING - PLEASE READ THIS

 In 2008 Friday evening sailing will be organised as follows:

Friday evenings are an opportunity for members to sail with safety cover but without the pressures of racing. They are not a training activity. 

If the Safety Officer feels that conditions are unsuitable he or she will either not launch the Safety Boat or will withdraw safety cover if conditions deteriorate. He or she will do this AFTER informing the sailors on the water and giving them enough time to return to shore. Adults sailing their own dinghies who wish to do so may, of course, continue to sail at their own risk, however, all Club dinghies must be returned to the shore. Parents or adults in loco parentis for juniors out in their own boats are responsible for deciding whether their junior may continue – the Safety Boat crew can relay messages if necessary.

The organiser will be responsible for opening-up and locking-up the Club, preparing sign on/sign off sheets, keeping radio contact with the Safety Boat and checking that everyone is signed off the water at the end of the session. They will also take a note of members using the Club Dinghies, registering that they are competent (see below) if it is that sailor’s first Friday evening of the season and take money for use of the Club dinghies.

On Friday 25 April there will be an onshore session for juniors who wish to sail the Club dinghies and their parents. This will be to demonstrate and practise rigging/ de-rigging the Optimists and Teras. After this there will be no instructor rostered.

Members may sail their own boats at no charge.  Their guests are welcome, but will be expected to join the Club after 3 sessions if they wish to continue.

Members wanting to sail Club boats will be subject to the following conditions:

  1. Parents of juniors will still be responsible for their children and must either stay at the Club or nominate a suitable adult to act “in loco parentis”.

  2. There will be a charge of £3 per person per session. (Sea Cadets or Sea Scouts wishing to use the Tera dinghies as part of a cadet or scout organised activity will not be charged). 

  3. On the 1st Friday they attend, members will be required to produce a Stage 2 / Level 2 certificate or note from the Chief Instructor confirming their competence to sail a dinghy unsupervised in normal conditions. This will be entered into a Register by the Organiser.

  4. Dinghies designed to be single-handers may be sailed by only one person at a time. 

  5. Those wishing to use Club dinghies will do so on a “first come, first served” basis. Sailors are expected to agree dinghy allocation between themselves – it may be necessary to swap at “half-time” so that everyone has a chance to sail. For this reason the charge is less than for use of Club dinghies at other times.   

If there is sufficient demand, a few sessions of supervised sailing in Club dinghies will be run on Sunday mornings. This will not be formal training, but an instructor will be present to assist. There will, of course, be Safety Boat cover. Anyone interested in this should contact Helen or Richard Jenner.

Friday 30 May and 27 June will be “Have-a-Go” sessions and publicised as such. On these evenings priority will be given to newcomers and extra help will be scheduled.

USE OF CLUB DINGHIES

With the exception of Friday Club evenings or when training courses are running, club dinghies may be used by ‘full’ members (ie Family, Ordinary, Student or Junior members) for sailing at Fortrose provided safety boat cover is available. Members wishing to use club dinghies must either:

bullet

have experience equivalent to RYA adult dinghy level 2 or youth training scheme stage 3

bullet

or have been assessed as adequately competent by one of the club instructors

bullet

or must be under the supervision of a club instructor

Dinghies will be available on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Contributions towards maintenance should be made in the ‘honesty box’ in the race office (the white plastic box) at the following rates per session per boat:

Single hander - £5                         GP14 - £10
