The Code of Conduct

 

  1. To be a Brother of the Coast is having the privilege of being part of a greater family which is spread over all the continents;
  2. Each elected committee member directs all his efforts to maintain the Brotherhood spirit and promote events to achieve this objective;
  3. If you cannot be loyal to the traditions of the Brotherhood, excuse yourself;
  4. The South Africa Brotherhood of the Coast is described in these document pages


Brotherhood

  1. Execute with respect the orders of the Captain as if they were those of your spiritual father or your older Brother.
  2. Never bear arms or attack with bad words the Brothers of the same Bay or those of the Littoral.
  3. Receive in your boat the Brother who visits you; offer him the food from your table and the best hammock in your cabin.
  4. As you treat your Brethren so will you be treated and the Captain will celebrate your fraternity, or will punish you.
  5. Do not envy the ship of your Brother, nor his sails, nor his motor.
  6. Bring the Brother without harbor to your bay, and should he own no other riches than his heart, take him aboard your yacht and consider him as your Brother.
  7. Do not be conceited or violent; if you are, you will cause your Brethren to keep away from you, and you will be quarantined with your plague.
  8. Love of the Sea must be the cult of your days; make sacrifices for her and observe her laws.
