Safety and Regulations Forum and Skippers Briefing
On Thursday 1 September the Club held its Sailors Safety and Regulations Forum and
Skippers Briefing. It was great to see over 200 Members attend and hear from our
local authorities and emergency departments on the services they offer and how to
contact them during an incident.
For those who could not attend the evening’s information will be uploaded to the
website and we recommend that all of your crew read/view this information.
