County Sailing Club Clubhouse (01636) 830065 NG14 7JX |
 The club signed up to the RYA Racing Charter which is outlined below. |
|
| Objectives | |
| ·
To provide the framework for everyone to enjoy the sport of sailboat racing in
whatever capacity and to whatever level the individual desires. · To ensure that the sport of sailboat racing welcomes people and treats them equally. · To ensure that those who experience sailboat racing are encouraged to continue. | |
| Principles and Practices | |
| ·
The sport welcomes all participants; it relies largely on self-compliance and
self-policing. Those that deliberately take unfair advantage of this or behave
in an inappropriate manner, either on or off the water, can expect to be brought
to account. · Competitors agree to compete and behave in compliance with the rules and in accordance with accepted standards of sailboat racing. When involved in a genuine dispute, both the parties to the dispute and those deciding the matter will use the established procedures for achieving resolution. · Foul or abusive language, intimidation, aggressive behaviour or lack of respect for others and their property will not be tolerated. · Organizers, officials and other providers of sailboat racing agree to strive to provide the fairest racing possible. This includes encouraging feed-back and facilitating the resolution of genuine disputes (including protests) in a timely and proper manner. · Coaches and other advisors agree to encourage their charges to compete, officiate or behave only in compliance with the above principles and practices. | |
