Green Slip Policy

SWD is an ever growing organisation and wishes to retain and increase the respect of not only the sailing world but also of many other organisations that rely on SWD's community service to people with disabilities. SWD manages to deliver many wonderful programs through the support from it's sponsors and the effort of its sailing crews.

SWD has developed a policy called "The Green Slip" to help every member understand what is required of them in order that they may go sailing with SWD. Each person who wishes to sail with SWD must attain a "green slip". We ask each member to comply with the following.

1. After their maiden voyage with SWD, any one who wishes to sail again will need to have completed a membership form and paid membership fees.
2. All SWD Members are to respond to SWD's requests for information via email by date stipulated in said email. There will always be one week's grace given for any such request by SWD and illness and holidays will be taken into consideration. In extraordinary circumstances, a return by date may be under one week's notice. Where individuals are unable to supply an email address, contact details must include a phone number. Any inability to comply with this policy must be agreed with the SWD committee by prior arrangement.
3. Members have a obligation to behave responsibly to the crew's instructions. At all times respecting the boat and equipment and mindful of the safety of oneself and fellow sailors aboard.
