Shoreside Staff/Safety Boat Crew

Testwood Lakes Sailability (TLS) is a volunteer-run charity that provides dinghy sailing for people with any disability.

We continue to seek Volunteer Shoreside Staff/Safety Boat Crew who will:

• Be able to assist sailors from reception to the pontoon if required.
• Welcome the sailor and career onto the pontoon and introduce them to the dinghy skipper.
• Ensure that the Buoyancy Aid is fitted correctly.
• Assist the sailor to access the dinghy. If this requires the use of a hoist this will require two Shore Crew to complete.
• Maintain radio contact with Reception.
• Record times that the dinghies are sailing.
• At the start of the day check, rig and launch the dinghies and have them ready on the pontoon to receive sailors.
• At the end of the session store the dinghies in the yard.

Volunteers will receive training for all of the above tasks.
