Fundraising and news

Sunset Bay Fundraising

As a non profit organization, we rely heavily on sponsorship from local businesses in order to remain active. This sponsorship allows us to purchase and maintain new and existing equipment in order to ensure the safest environment for our members to train in.

 

News

All club members please note that it is now MANDATORY for all outrigger craft (OC1, OC2, OC6 and 12’s) to carry nationally approved PFD’s type 1, 2 or 3. There must be one jacket per paddler during ALL paddling sessions including training, personal training and racing according to Maratime safety regulations. All PFD’s must be easily accessible and conform to regulations. All canoes discovered not to be abiding by this ruling face disciplinary action.

 

All canoes on the water in low light or low visibility conditions must have a light in order to be visible to other vessels and users of the water. Where possible, training should only take place in good light and high visibility.

 

All members are responsible for reading and agreeing to the terms outlined in the Sunset Bay Risk Management policy which can be accessed on the Members page.
