A Qualified Instructor will be present at Twilights to ensure that the RS Quests are rigged correctly, handle any maintenance issues and breakages, oversee proper pack-down, and sign sailors on & off. The instructor serves as the main point of contact and has the authority to stop the sailing session if unsafe sailing practices are observed or if there are any issues with the boats.

This initiative allows experienced sailors to enjoy club racing without needing their own boat, providing greater access to sailing opportunities for our members.
