The Committee is pleased to confirm that with the return of a full Program of Twilight Sailing, GFS would again invite Youth Off the Streets (YOTS) and their workers to sail with us for one race in December and then join us for a BBQ. YOTS has accepted the invitation.
This recommences the program that has been run for 20 consecutive seasons, although being cancelled for the past two years due to Covid. This year we are expecting up to 35 YOTS and their workers to join us on Wednesday 7 December (fall back date is 14 December in case of cancellation due to adverse conditions). The event will be conducted, as in the past, with boats arriving at the dock from about 5.15 to pick up crew to take one or two YOTS or workers on their boat for a racing experience.
With respect to RRS 46 requirements, we have arranged to use Australian Sailing’s Bulk Upload Facility to add the visitors’ names, birthdates and emergency contact details to the AS Database. This will generate AS#s as required and provide access to the AS personal safety insurance facility for all the kids and workers involved. This will mean individual skippers will NOT need to add the kids or workers names, AS#s etc to their own POB Lists.
Thanks in advance to those skippers who can assist with this very worthy GFS activity.
