Making Sure the CCO Keeps Us COVIDSafe

We want to clarify the role of the COVID Compliance Officer (CCO), which is a critical role to ensure our regulatory compliance.  This is an on-land role that starts before the first person arrives and ends after the last person leaves.  The CCO should not undertake any COTD tasks unless there is no one yet at the club, in which case any COTD assistance is appreciated! 

In the pre-racing phase, the role is (a) to record the details of every person at the club, (b) to ensure no more than 10 people are in the club at any one time with no use of changerooms, (c) to ensure use of hand sanitiser and maintenance of social distancing and (d) to ensure no more than 20 boats are rigging in any one broad area of the park.  It is important that the CCO remains at or near the front entrance to the club at all times during this phase until after 2pm.

After 2pm, the CCO is encouraged to take the second RIB out to the race course area and to act as an on-water support resource (i.e. moving marks, providing rescue response).  Once racing ends, the CCO must return in that RIB as soon as possible, to be on land prior to the return of the first sailor.

In the post-racing phase, the role is (a) to ensure no more than 20 boats are de-rigging in any one broad area of the park, (b) to ensure use of hand sanitiser and maintenance of social distancing, (c) and to ensure no more than 10 people are in the club at any one time with no use of changerooms and no getting changed inside the club.

We also remind the PRO, COTD and CCO to read all the documentation on the website.  Thanks for helping us achieve our goal of excellent race management, as well as regulatory compliance!
