Best Practice Guides
The purpose of the guides, listed below, is to assist new volunteers when they first join NFS. Also to provide advice to all members concerning safety and care for our sailors and equipment. We appreciate that when it comes to boats, ropes and seamanship, there are many ways to achieve the same results; however, when we are training new people, it helps if we are consistent in our approach. Consequently, the Committee has approved these guides as appropriate for NFS. Many thanks to those who have already contributed to producing these guides.
