Volunteer work is an important part of sailing. We constantly work to maintain the standard of our boats, and we need your help to keep things running smoothly.
Normally, we organize two volunteer events each year, focusing on launching and winter storage respectively. These take place at Skansen, where the boats are located in the harbor and in winter storage.
Volunteering is a great way to become familiar with both the boats and other sailing enthusiasts. We at NTNUI Sailing recommend that you participate in these events to lend a hand and experience all aspects of sailing. You’ll have the chance to meet our board members and other eager members, and engage in conversations. It’s also crucial that you ensure the boats are emptied of water before and after sailing and that you leave the boats in better condition than you found them.
In addition to the volunteer work, we have several committees you can get involved in alongside training. The committees make it easier for the organizers to get things done, while also giving more people the opportunity to contribute both practically and socially. Many committees also organize their own social events throughout the year.
We have the following committees:
- Melges24 Technical Committee: Responsible for the maintenance of the Melges24 boats.
- Yngling Technical Committee: Responsible for the maintenance of the Yngling boats.
- Communications Committee: Works with the website and social media (SoMe).
- Social and Events Committee: Organizes parties, gatherings, and other social activities.
- Training and Regatta Committee: Responsible for competitions and the organization of training sessions.
- Recruitment Committee: Focuses on recruiting new members.
- Nomination Committee: Responsible for nominations to the board and committees.
