Meet the Committee

Paul has been sailing at the club since 2007. He has held roles in the sailing committee and took on the role of Sailing Rear Commodore in 2019, then Vice Commodore in 2021. Paul is now sailing a yacht his father built in 1976 and his aim is to continue to build club participation in all sections.

At ORSSC, we value our club members and strive to ensure they feel welcome and included as an integral part of the clubs' operations and celebrations.

Tide seeks to select and feature one member of our club in every issue, highlighting aspects of their personality and their contribution to the club so you can get to know them and maybe even say hello next time you see them.

The questions we ask share insight into each members personal tastes and lifestyle away from their club duties.
