Officer of the Day (OOTD)

Members of EYC are expected to spend one day each sailing season as Officer of the
Day (OOTD). A member’s family needs to contribute only one person per Officer of the
Day shift. Officers are required for each Saturday, Sunday and statutory holiday of the
sailing season. Choose a day online:
Sign up for a shift by June 1. If you don’t sign up for a shift, a day will be assigned to you
  • If you need to change your date as Officer of the Day, contact our Social Director, [email protected]
  • On your chosen day, please be onsite at EYC from 9 am to 4:30 pm
  • The OOTD is expected to stay onsite. Sadly, it’s not a day for sailing.

General Responsibilities
Officer of the Day is a first point of contact to assist members with any issues that come
up.
  • Prepare the Boston Whaler for use in case of rescue; follow these steps.
  • Keep the clubhouse and grounds clean and tidy
  • Answer questions that members have about the club. Get to know your fellow EYC members! Community is important.
  • Greet visitors. It's common for people to come looking for details on the club and to scope out the facilities. Please be welcoming and sing our charms!

Also
  • Walk both docks and check the mooring lines. Tidy up lines blocking the walkway. Check often on an easterly wind.
  • If you own a mobile VHF radio, monitor channel 16

End of Day
  • Sign and date the OOTD logbook. Make a note of any supplies that need replenishing or significant occurrences during the day.
  • Lock the front and side door of the clubhouse.
