The list of tasks above is a guide to those things that need to be done. It is requested that you are proactive in and around the club premises and use your duty time to the best effect.</p><p>The major area that you should monitor is safety during sailing/racing although safety of all boats sailing should be considered. </p><p>There should be adequate safety cover for the conditions and if you are not satisfied do not allow racing to go ahead, if required 3 RIBs are available to provide cover although typically only 1 crew will be on roster for club racing.</p><p>The OOD may request volunteers to launch additional boats if required. The level of safety cover should be decided between the Race Officer, the OOD and the Safety Boat Drivers. There are hand held VHF radios, these should be used for communication between the shore and afloat. The VHF can be found in the white cupboard behind the bar stockroom door.</p><p>Outside club racing times the OOD is asked to make a RIB accessible for non-racing members that may need access to safety assistance throughout your duty period. Such availability should always be subject to available persons to safely launch and recover the RIB and the state of tide that permits launch and recovery.</p><p>If any boat is observed to be in difficulty or distress within the local area of NSC the OOD is asked to make best efforts to provide NSC safety cover or notify emergency authorities.</p><p>The OOD is asked to monitor security of the premises, making sure that the bar is locked when not staffed and the club and all outbuildings are locked with the burglar alarm set at the end of each day. </p><p>The OOD is asked to ensure the bar is run in accordance with the law.</p><p>The OOD is asked to challenge, or notify a committee member, if any person on the premises is not recognised in order to establish their status as a club member you can ask for their membership card. </p><p>Tour of Duty Your tour of duty is from 0900 hrs (or at least 2hrs before the start of any racing) to between 1600 and 1700 hrs (depending on the time of year) on the agreed date.
