- arranging lectures, discussions, navigation trips and other meetings that may be of interest to members,
- negotiating members’ discounts, benefits and privileges with selected chandlers and other trade outlets and
- providing support on a regular basis to local organisations involved in search and rescue services for the boating fraternity, such as the RNLI, The Channel Islands Airsearch and Rescue and the St. John’s Ambulance Organisation.
