How do I know NoSSS coaches are the right people for the job?
NoSSS has a head coach who is responsible for organising the weekends and the overall safety and management of the weekends. Where necessary, additional coaches will be employed to maintain a ratio of 6 sailors to 1 coach at all times on the water. All coaches are employed by the RYAS, who ensure that they are qualified to coach, have a valid first aid certificate and have been trained to drive a power boat. Most of the coaches have been involved with NoSSS for several seasons although we may from time to time use newly qualified coaches to allow them to gain some experience along side a more seasoned one.
