NOTICE TO ALL VOLUNTEERS INVOLVED WITH DINGHY SAILING
If you would like training as Race Officer or RIB driver
please contact the Sailing Secretary
If you are already LTSC RO or RIB driver and have not yet responded to your invitation to the Race Officer's Forum or RIB drivers Forum please do so!

The Volunteer page on the website has now been split into two pages:
Volunteers (Training, guidance and links to other resources)
Dinghy Sailing Management System (Risk Assessments and Key Documents)

NOTICE TO ALL DINGHY SAILORS
The  Sailing Committee would like to remind all HELMS and CREW who wish to participate in any LTSC organised dinghy sailing activity including Club Races, Saturday Sailing and Dinghy Cruises, that they will need to complete and sign the
LTSC Contact & Sailing Experience Form – 2008

and return it to the Sailing Secretary.

It will continue to be necessary to sign on for races each day and to comply with the registration procedures for Saturday Sailing, Dinghy Cruises and other organised dinghy events.

The Sailing Committee has also decided to experiment with Personal Sailing Handicaps for Club races with a view to encouraging newcomers to racing and to increase participation in Club races.

The plan is to award ad hoc prizes after each Wednesday Evening race based on results determined using the Lymington Personal Handicap System.
Further details will be announced on the Website and in Telltales.
