Dieppe Dash Safety Briefing

The Safety Briefing is a key part of Dieppe Dash Safety Plan, essential last-minute information will be passed over at this time. The Person-in-Charge, or a representative, is required to attend this briefing at Brighton Marina Yacht Club from 19h30hrs on the Thursday evening before departure.

Dieppe Dash organisers require the person-in-charge to ensure key safety information is registered:

a) information about the Boat, the Person-in-Charge, and Number of Persons Aboard.

b) name and contact details of a Shoreside Contact Person; I.E. a person who will remain ashore and contactable via telephone at all times whilst the boat is underway.

The person-in-charge must furnish the shoreside contact with an up-to-date list of names and contact details of a person for each crew member aboard who may be contacted in event of an emergency.

Dieppe Dash organisers do not require crew names and personal details, nor crew emergency contact information.

General advice and last minute information will be offered at the briefing including predicted weather conditions and any maritime notices; ultimately it will be the responsibility of the person-in-charge of the individual boat to make the decision whether to put to sea according to prevailing conditions and the experience of individual crew members.

This year this event will take place on Thursday 2nd May 19:30 - 21:30. We look forward to seeing you there.
