The OOD/Team Leader is responsible for notifying the other duty team members of their duty dates. Anyone exchanging duties must find his/her own substitute and update the master duty list on the club notice board or inform the Sailing or Vice-Sailing Captain of the change. The duty lists are posted on the website, in Telltales and are also posted on the club notice board. The Team Leader/OOD must be prepared to man the rescue boat if necessary.
