What is DutyMan?
DutyMan is an internet based service providing a database of members and a list of events and assosciated duties that are either volunteered for by members or allocated to members by the club. This page provides links to the system which is password protected at member level.

When filling the remaining gaps after most members have been allocated duties, it’s inevitable that some people will occasionally be rostered on days when they already have other commitments. When this happens, it’s important that duties are re-allocated reliably without creating a large administrative burden for the volunteers who manage the rota. How many duties am I expected to fulfill?
Please feel free to volunteer as much as you can—every contribution is appreciated by the club. Your membership record includes fields that you can use to state your preferred roles for volunteering.
Who can volunteer for Sailing event duties?
Any member can volunteer for these roles, though some experience and training are required for Safety Officer positions. For more information, contact:
How are Duties filled
Before the sailing season begins the club allocates duties based on members' preferences recorded in their membership record within the DutyMan system.
Safety Officer duties are filled based on the following qualifications requirements being held:
Can I swap duties?
You can volunteer or swap duties through the Dutyman system. Swapping is restricted to the Duty role that you have and DutyMan has been set with that restriction and will not offer a different role type for swapping.
The DutyMan system makes swapping straightforward. If you need to swap a duty, please use DutyMan in the first instance. Simply log in to Dutyman, click “Request a duty swap”, and follow the instructions. Each member has a login based on their email address and a password. Alternatively on login you can ask for a login link to be sent to your email address. If you need assistance using the Dutyman system, please contact [email protected]. Can I volunteer for something else?
Absolutely! There are various ways to contribute to the club and Volunteering is highly valued.
What happens if a duty remains unfilled?
The Sailing Sub-Committee will encourage members to step forward. If a duty is still unfilled on the day of the event, it must be covered by attendees, or the event will not proceed.
Contact a DutyMan Administrator
Please only contact the Dutyman administrator to swap duties in the following circumstances:
