To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all members, please note that there are a few prerequisites that must be met before taking these boats out on the water:
- Eligibility: Members with suitable and reasonable sailing experience are welcome to access these boats. Additionally, graduates from our Adult Keelboat (and Dinghy) Sailing Course are also eligible to enjoy this privilege. To race Mussels, individuals should possess prior racing experience.
- Proficiency Check: All members interested in sailing these Club Boats must undergo a proficiency check to demonstrate their sailing skills and knowledge of safety procedures. The thoroughness of the proficiency checks will vary according to each members experience level and their chosen boat. This check will be conducted by any one of our experienced team members to ensure that everyone is capable and confident on the water.
