Club Seeks Volunteer Whaler Drivers
Corinthian Yacht Club is looking for members to volunteer as whaler drivers. Our Boston Whalers are used for mark setting and retrieval along with safety boat operations, and volunteers are needed for both Puget Sound and Lake Washington events. It’s a fun, exciting, and rewarding way to serve your fellow sailors. We will be providing a mixture of classroom and hands-on training with our specialized equipment along with reference material from US Sailing and our own manual. We’re looking for people who can commit to at least one of our weeknight series, which is typically 6 consecutive Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, or the equivalent number of weekend events. The prerequisites for these positions are:
- prior powerboat operating experience
- club membership (you can be an associate member)
- legally permitted to operate a powerboat in Washngton state
- 16 years old or over
- Sucessfully complete our three evening training program
Our training program is on the Thursdays of April 7, 14, and 21, with our first session starting at 6pm at the Shilshole clubhouse. Please send a note to the CYC office if you are interested.
