Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to conduct basic checks on vessel sail systems of recreational vessels in both land and water environments and relates to workplaces in which vessels are built, repaired, stored, sold and transported.The scope of the unit is limited to identifying and reporting on the general condition of the sails and their equipment and identifying potential problems that can be easily discerned and includes basic operational checks similar to those routinely performed by machinery or vehicle operators.This unit does not include an assessment of seaworthiness or durability and the information would be reported to a supervisor or manager who would determine any further action. Where operational checking of other vessel components is required unit MEM50006 Check operational capability of marine craft should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: EUnit Weight: 0

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Masts, booms and spas include one (1) or more of the following:

wood

aluminium

composite materials

Halyards, sheets, ropes, cables and winches include the following:

halyards

ropes

wires

cables

shackles

turning blocks

electric and hand powered winches

self-steer systems

self-furling sail systems

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
