    SSANZ 2020 Round North Island Race

    Hi all RNI competitors,

    I have been asked by a number of you to run another "Offshore medical Course" for RNI competitors prior to the race, so have agreed to

     

    Planning is in early stages however I have set the date as Sat 1st Feb 2020 so you have a little time before the race

     

    Jon will update you as we finalise things and I will update here

    Regards

    Thank you Razz, Fish and others for your support.

     

    Steve Pope as to your comments - ".. it is surely a commercial venture."

     

    Actually -you are quite wrong.

     

    I do this to help NZ yachties and do NOT get paid to do so. I do it because I enjoy it, because I was asked to do it and I want to give something back to yachting.

    It also enables all of the volunteers (there are many of us - Sally, Bek, Jenny, Angus and I) to donate money to a yachting charity.

     

    All of the profits are donated to charity. 

     

    I was paid to rewrite the YNZ Medical requirements -  I donated this money to Youth Sailing.

     

    Profits from the first "Dr Dave course" - were donated to Cyclone relief in Fiji

     

    All of the other course profits were donated to Disabled sailing.

     

    Firstly we outfitted a boat for a disabled race officer to help her get in and out of the boat.

     

    Last years profits are going to buy Defibrillators for patrol boats and the RAYC for cardiac arrests.

     

    We are also putting money towards building a yacht to teach disabled sailors how to sail

     

     

     

    I suggest prior to making ill-informed comments - you find out the facts

    Hi All,

    A few things for the course:

    • We are having a BBQ after the course - all are invited. RAYC will organise at a minimal fee
    • Please fill out your pre course quiz prior to attending
    • Once you have registered you will be given all the course notes. These cover the lectures so you can just listen, rather than write

    See you there

    Cheers

    Hi All,

    The course is filling fast

     

    If you would like to come, please register SOON

     

    In previous years I have had a number of people who leave it until the course is full and then try and enter 

     

    Thanks

    Dave
