South-East Zone Sailing Instructions
Arrival Instructors
When entering the Club, please procedure up to the Roller-blockade and wait for the traffic light signal to turn green. It is very important that one vehicle passes the roller-blockade at a time and no cars “tail-cage” the vehicle in front, otherwise serve damage will occur.
Once pass the gate, please proceed to the left-hand ramp to the drop-off point following the one-way system. When approaching the top of the “up” ramp and drop-off point, please follow the directions of the marshals and drop-off all boats and equipment into the boat set-up area. To allow other sailors to drop-off their boats, please can all parents / car drivers move all vehicles and trailers back down the “down” ramp and park in the car park.
There are easy-access steps up to the Club house from the car park.
Marshals
Site marshals will be position around the site to direct vehicles, sailors and boats. We ask all sailors and parents taking part in the event to respect the marshals directions and instructions.
Catering Facilities
Full catering facilities are available all day on Saturday and Sunday for meals, snacks, sandwiches, hot and cold drinks. There is also a licence bar available in the Club house. Sailors wishing to bring their own packed lunches can use the outside benches. All catering facilities are available in the “wet bar” allowing sailors to enter the Club house in wet clothing.
Changing Facilities
Both male and female changing rooms and hot showers are available for all sailors. All users of the changing rooms are advised not to leave any valuables items unattended.
Camping Facilities
Datchet Water Sailing Club has a large open area suitable for tent and vehicle camping on site. Any sailors and families wishing to make use of the camping facilities throughout the event should call the office on 01753 683872 or email manager@dwsc.co.uk to book their space.
Launching Facilities
DWSC benefits from easy launching access into the water. From the car parks, boats can be easy moved onto the launching beach and into the water. We ask that all parents and adults help remove boat trolleys up to the top of the launching beach and that sailors do not leave any equipment next to the water edge.
Please note, other Club activities will also be taking place during the event, so we ask all water users to be considerate and respectful to each other when entering and exiting the water. The Club safety boat team and Datchet Watersports Centre may only use the launching pontoons.
Exiting The Club
All vehicles leaving the Club must obtain a “events pass” from the Club house to active the roller-blocker barrier. Please ensure you have collected your pass before leaving the car park, otherwise you will not be able to pass the barrier.
Please ensure you have collected all your personal belongings and equipment before leaving the Club. If you have lost any personal property, please call the Club as soon as possible so we can arrange the return of all missing items.
