A bonny day for a wander around the harbour.

We have the schooner “Trinovante” in, en route back to Norway . She was built by her owners and offers sailing holidays around the UK and Northern Europe.

The Marina is still busy with visitors, despite it nearing the end of the season. This year we have so far welcomed almost 300 yachts from all over the world. Over 600 crew have been aboard these vessels . It is clear from feedback that Wick remains a popular spot to visit and importantly we are seeing a greater trend in yachts opting to remain for longer stays of 7 days and beyond.

 Closing Date for applications – Friday 20th September 2019 at 4pm.

Due to completion of the term of two existing Board Members, Wick Harbour Authority is seeking applications from high quality individuals interested in being considered for Board membership. Each term of office will run from 1st November 2019 for three years.

The Board, as a whole, requires to have special knowledge, experience and ability in a broad and complementary range of matters as specified in the Wick Harbour 2005 Revision Orders which are relevant to the efficient and economic discharge of the Board of their functions.

The ability to work well within a committee, to grasp and deal with complex issues and to express your own views clearly will also be required. Residence within a reasonable distance(e.g. 50 miles) of the harbour and familiarity with local issues will also be desirable.

The appointments will be made on the basis of merit and aptitude in accordance with the Modern Trusts Ports for Scotland – Guidance for good governance. Board Members will be expected to attend meetings and otherwise devote one to two days per month to the work of the Board.
