Volunteers for the BYC Rescue Boat Team

 Do you know someone who is at a loose end on Sundays?  Do they like powerboats? Are they interested in sailing?  If so they might be the right person to join the BYC rescue boat team.  BYC is always looking for adults to join our rescue boat team on a voluntary basis during club sailing on Sunday afternoons from October to April.  Rescue boat work is an enjoyable, exciting and vital part of organised sailing on the bay and involves diverse and challenging situations in all types of weather conditions.

No experience is necessary; our experienced team members will teach you all you need to know about rescue boat operations, from simple activities such as the launching and retrieval of the boats to more challenging tasks such as laying courses, assisting boats in distress, towing other vessels and recovering sailors from the water.

BYC will happily cover the costs for volunteers to attend Yachting Victoria’s Powerboat Handling Course, Safety Boat Handling Course and Race Officer Course where appropriate.
