2015 race duties are published in Dutyman today.

–

DutyMan is in its 4^th year of use at TBYC and provides an up to date, on-line database of all duties and the racing programme. Duties are not being published in the Handbook this year

Dutyman is emailing the 230 duty-holders with their allocated duties and dates. The majority are allocated  3 or 4 duties per year but some volunteer to do many more.

Each email contains an individual password log-in link to Dutyman. (if you haven’t done so already, please save that link in your Favourites or Bookmarks for future instant access).

–

Please log-in to Dutyman immediately on receipt of your duty list and ‘confirm’ your duties under the ‘confirm your duties’ tab. A blue tick will appear against your duties.

Confirming your duties at that time will let the duty managers know that:

• You are able to access DutyMan;
• DutyMan has your correct email address; and
• You are aware of your 2015 duties.

You can still swap your duties later even though you have confirmed them.

–

There are a few duty-holders without email addresses in DutyMan. These members will receive their duty listing separately with their Handbook.

–

If you have any problems with using or accessing DutyMan please contact me on [email protected]

Hi,
I hope your all having a great Christmas.
I am hoping to sail my Hurricane at this years Frozen Sheets to work the turkey and mince pies off, but Sophie and I are down for SS7 instead.
Does anybody wish to take SS7 out? (you will need a crew) or can swap a duty.
Many thanks.
Simon

DutyMan will be offline tomorrow, Wednesday 29th October, from 1200 GMT to approximately 1300 GMT for routine maintenance.
