Rowing Checkout

This checkout is intended for new members who are experienced rowers and want to have their skills checked out so they can get on the water (mandatory prerequisite to using the fleet). 

We will be getting on the water and rowing.

• overview of the fleet
  
• rigging and derigging
• launching and landing
• use of logbooks
• policies and practices
• distance rowing (where to go, tides, wind/waves, currents, hazards)
• capsize recovery (i.e. get back into the boat from deep water)

Note that new members should bring a wetsuit (if you wish) and towel, as they must demonstrate a successful capsize recovery to complete their checkout.  

Please be aware that Covid-19 protocols are in effect at Jericho Sailing Centre and Club Locarno.

All participants are required to wear a mask while in the compound, maintain physical distancing, wash hands often and be kind! Participant information will be collected to facilitate contact tracing if required.
