1 Scout Sailing at Glenelg Adventurous Activity Centre Leader Guide

2 Scout sailing and leadership at Glenelg Adventurous Activity Centre Dear Scout Leader, There are six new Optimist dinghies available at Glenelg Adventurous Activity Centre for the use of Scouts and Cubs. The Scout Optimist Program was conceived so that: Scouts can build individual skills and solo in a sailboat. Scouts can take on a leadership role and mentor Cub sailing. Glenelg would offer an easy access program. Scouts will be taught to sail by endorsed Venturer Leaders under the supervision of Adult Leaders. You can book this activity by downloading an Activity Booking Application Patawalonga, from the boating website.

3 See you on the water, Your Boating Team. Scout Sailing: Option 1: Scout sailing at Glenelg Activity Centre (2 hours) During this activity Scouts will: Demonstrate wearing an approved personal flotation device and know when it should be worn while boating. Learn the parts of the sail. Learn the parts of the sailboat. Assist in rigging the boat. Crew in a sailboat. Solo in a sailboat. Option 2: Patrol activity (8 hours) Work towards achieving a water activity target badge. Session 1: At your Scout Hall (2 hours) Complete the theoretical knowledge requirements of the target badge. (Requirements Guide attached) Session 2: (2 Hours) Demonstrate wearing an approved personal flotation device and know when it should be worn while boating. Learn the parts of the sail. Learn the parts of the sailboat. Assist in rigging the boat. Crew in a sailboat. Solo in a sailboat. Start an activity logbook. Session 3: (2 Hours) Take a group of Cubs sailing. Session 4: (2 Hours) Take a group of Cubs sailing.

4 Session 3 and 4 can be completed on the same day. Available To achieve target badges in water activities sailing, Scouts will need to demonstrate a knowledge of boats, weather, safety, knots and first aid. Below is offered as a guide for that information. Recognize four different types of craft constructions Dinghies: A dinghy is a type of small open sailboat commonly used for recreation and sail training. Sloop: The most common modern sailboat is the sloop, which features one mast and two sails. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing into the wind. Keel Boats: These are larger like the yachts you might see at Seahaven. The centreboard is fixed and called a keel. Multi Hulls: These boats have more than one hull, which makes them very fast. They are usually referred to as catamaran - 2 hulls and trimaran - 3 hulls.

5 1.Ways the weather will impact on planning a sailing activity Wind o Maximum wind speed for Scouts = 15 knots or 22 knots with power boat support. o The wind direction will affect the direction you can easily travel in a sailboat. Swell and height of waves o When wind speed doubles wind strength quadruples and makes waves. Sunshine or rain o We want the sailing day to be fun so not too hot and not too rainy. Temperature o We know that when the temperature is low we feel cold. o We know that when the temperature is high we feel hot. o When boating we should always be mindful that a sharp swing in temperature will mean a potentially dangerous weather event is about to happen and we should seek to get to shore. Air pressure o A barometer is a device that measures atmospheric air pressure. o The larger the change in pressure the larger a change in weather can be expected. Further information available at: o The Bureau of Meteorology web site. o Willy Weather is a feature rich weather app that includes radar, satellite, detailed wind, rain, tide, swell and UV forecasts, as well as moon phases, and sunrise and sunset times. Books

6 o Field Book for Australian Scouting - Boating Activities, provides comprehensive information related to Scout provided boating activities. Reasons why you should know the tide times and heights when you are planning to go boating Tides Tides are controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth. The tidal range is the difference between the lowest and highest water levels for a given place. The effects of tides include: o Your ability to launch or recover your boat safely. o The flow of water in tidal rivers makes travel easier or more difficult. o Dangerous moving water flows such as rip currents. o You may not have enough water beneath the keel of the boat to safely travel The rule of twelfths is for estimating the height of the tide at any time, given only the time and height of high and low water. The rule states that in the first hour after low tide the water level will rise by one twelfth of the range, in the second hour two twelfths, and so on according to the sequence.

7 Based on the tide chart above. On Thursday July 10 th, if we launch our boats from Sea Haven after 8:46am, we will be travelling in shallower water and need to watch marker buoys. We will have assistance from the tide travelling to Torrens Island but resistance travelling back unless we wait until after 3:21pm but in July that would be too late for us to return in daylight. 2. Safety (Consider doing the water safety badge) a) Demonstrate wearing an approved personal flotation device and know when it should be worn while boating. (Done at Glenelg) b) Without a personal flotation device stay afloat for about three minutes. c) Be able to swim 50 meters. d) Explain the importance of staying with an overturned boat and never boating alone. 3. Sailing Knots a) Know the Scoutcraft and Pioneer Campcraft knots: b) Learn and use the following knots for boating activities: Figure of Eight Anchor or Fisherman s Bend. Creates a stopper on the end of a rope such as a jib rope. Also used for climbing harnesses and various tackles. The Anchor Bend is a knot used for attaching a rope to a ring or similar termination. Bowline Common Rope Whipping Creates a fixed loop that doesn t slip. The Common Whipping is the simplest type of whipping knot, a series of knots intended to stop a rope from unraveling. As it can slip off the rope easily, the Common Whipping should not be used for rope ends that will be handled.

8 4. First Aid a) Know the Citizenship First Aid requirement for Pioneer Level. b) Know the most frequent medical hazards associated with boating (sunburn, eyestrain, sunstroke, seasickness, immersion, and hypothermia). c) The appropriate treatment for these and precautions and how to avoid them.
