The club is a Members Club. We have no paid staff, therefore all duties are carried out by the members. This includes Sunday race duties.
DSC uses DutyMan to manage its duty rota. All DSC Members will have accounts on DutyMan so they can keep track of their duties and arrange duty swaps as necessary. DutyMan has a variety of features including emailing reminders to members about their pending duties.
DSC Duties this Week
The current version of the OOD handbook can be downloaded here.
OODs are asked to where possible use the online sailing manager for recording race results, which can be accessed here.
Full, clear and simple instructions are available in the clubhouse. The system counts laps, records timings and calculates handicap adjustments, so you don’t have to do the maths. Results go straight to Sailwave and appear on our series scoreboards automatically.
Please note:
- Officers of the Day and Assistant Officers of the Day should arrive by the club by 1030 hrs in the summer, and possibly earlier in the winter due to the earlier race start.
- It may, rarely, be necessary for AODs to enter the water to rescue sailors and/or boats. OODs and AODs should have available suitable clothing (dry or wet suits), something warm to change into and of course a buoyancy aid.
- During the summer and holiday series, with three races, the day’s activities will often end at around 1600 hrs, but the OOD and team should be prepared to stay until 17:00hrs if members want to continue sailing.
- If for any reason a member is unable to attend for the programmed duty, it is their responsibility to arrange a swap through DutyMan.
- It is NOT possible to find a substitute by just telephoning or emailing the roster secretary.
- If an AOD, for an important personal reason, is at short notice unable to attend his or her scheduled duty, he or she should contact the appropriate OOD and him of the problem.
- At the end of the day please complete the OOD report form by clicking here.
