There's a new "Leisure Sail" sign on application that has now now gone live. If you launch something that floats from SYC (and are not dinghy racing, yachting or junior sailing), this is for you.
If you are used to the existing dinghy racing sign on application, this new application will look fairly familiar. If you are used to scribbling on "sign on" bits of paper, this is going to be a bit new.
Therefore, this page contains a couple of videos that explain how best to use the new Leisure Sail Sign On application.
Overview Video
This first video provides a quick (5 minutes long) overview of the key functionality of the new Leisure Sail Sign On application. If you are generally OK with things computery and know your way around SYC, then this should be more than enough to get you going with the new application.

Detailed video
This second video is much more detailed and, therefore, much longer at 18 minutes long. Not everyone will want to sit through all 18 minutes but if you are new to SYC this may be the one for you. Otherwise, if there were just one or two concerns you have after watching the overview video, then we've provided a "table of contents" for the sections of this longer video along with their start times. This should enable you to just "dip into" the sections of this video that are of interest.
