Safety Boat Drivers and Crew

The Club would like to prepare a database of SYC members who are willing, at some point in the season, to assist in Safety Boat and Rescue duties.

Would any members willing to be included on the database, please e-mail Julian.Stanning bosun@thesyc.co.uk . Please include a note as to any relevant qualifications: PB2, Safety Boat, First Aid. These are not essential but it will be helpful to have a record and courses will be offered during the year. The first Power Boat Training has already been advertised (10&11 March) and it is also proposed to that the club will pay for a Safety Boat course at Loch Ken for suitable candidates who are willing, in return, to offer 5 days safety boat duty (in Cadet Week, or Kippford Week, or days spread over club-racing weekends).


What is going on in the wider Kippford Community?

The Colvend Community Web Site has been launched and is being populated with information in its 'Whats On' section.

They have invited the Club/Members to submit any useful information, interesting photographs or articles for inclusion - please visit the site where instructions are available or contact them at: enquiry@colvendcommunity.co.uk

Kippford circa 1908/9
This interesting set of photographs was taken by Mr John Hume whilst on holiday in Kippford about 1908/9 - he died in 1923. They are of very good quality for photography of that time and have been given to the Club (through Gordon Daly) so that members can view them.
