ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Splashnight will be run by our team of volunteer sailing instructors.
We will ensure that safe ratios are maintained on the water but will be immensely grateful for parents/designated guardians to be on hand to help rig and de-rig boats and help whilst boats and children are on the shore. We are always happy to take out willing parents/designated guardians in the safety boats too. Any help is always appreciated by our volunteer instructors.
To volunteer please put your name down in the duty roster.
