Off-Water Safety

Lifting and moving boats

Tay RC expects all members to be responsible for the safety of themselves and the equipment when maneuvering boats. One person (usually the cox, steers or coach) is to be in charge, giving clear instructions to the rest of the crew.

Specific hazards to be aware of:

  • crossing the road (keep an eye out for oncoming vehicles)
  • walking down the pier (the mud can get slippy)

Car parking

Spaces are at a premium in and around the sleepless inch site. Initially cars should populate the cul-de-sac spaces away from the road. When this becomes full cars may begin parking the layby in front of the site and 100m beyond. Tay RC accepts no liability of any damage to vehicles.

We encourage members to car pool and use alternative forms of transport to reduce congestion. Please contact any committee member if you can offer assistance, or need help, with transport to the sleepless inch site.

Smoking

The Tay RC site is non- smoking.
