Hoping to be a Watchleader...

I'm still hoping that for some, if not all the race I can be a Watchleader for CV2. Here's my list of responsibilities if I get selected;

• Will provide leadership, motivation and encouragement to their watch crew whilst
ensuring the yacht is safely sailed at the optimum speed on the optimum course at
all times.
• Will ensure that the yacht complies with IRPCS, the racing rules and the sailing
instructions at all times.
• Will undertake navigation and log keeping duties whilst on watch.
• Will take part in the tactical, navigation and meteorological discussions and planning
at any time along with the skipper and other watch leader including prior to race
start.
• Will ensure the smooth running of their watch including dealing with any personal
issues, disputes and sea sickness etc.
• Will ensure all of their watch crew are on deck at least 5 minutes before their watch
is due to start.
• Will ensure the cockpit and deck is kept clean whilst on watch.
• Will undertake tasks identified by the skipper and comply with any temporary
standing orders.
• Will be responsible for organising their watch during stop over deep cleans.

It will go a long way to getting my practical Yachtmaster Ocean at the end of the race so fingers crossed!
