TRACTOR DRIVERS NEEDED!! (TRAINING AVAILABLE)
We are currently in need of Tractor Drivers to launch Sea Rescue boats this season.
There are many sailing activities during the coming season that require help.
Such as:
- Swish on Friday afternoons.
- Sail training on Saturday mornings.
- Racing on Saturday afternoons.
- Christmas Holiday period sailing.
All of these activities require a Tractor to launch and retrieve our SA1, SA2, SA4 and SA11 rescue boats.
If you feel you can help us out, we can train you and add you to our WhatsApp group so that we can organise our roster.
