Club rules

The aim of the club is to allow people to enjoy the sport, but a few simple rules apply, mainly for the safety of all club facility and sailing site users. You must:

• be a member of WSYC to sail on the bank, or a visitor from another club by prior arrangement.
• be insured.
• wear a crash helmet when sailing.
• display a WSYC number (visitors must display their own club number).
• keep 300 metres off the coast except for access to the sandbank and you must keep within the permitted area.
• stay 100 metres away from walkers and 300 metres from horses.
• know the sailing safety rules.
• report accidents to a Club Officer and enter all details into the Accident Book.
• not use the club's vehicles unless you have been properly trained and briefed in their use.
• No abuse of alcohol or other drugs will be tolerated when sailing. Any evidence that your competence is impaired as a result of drugs (including those prescribed by a doctor) will result in termination of your membership.
