Abstract

The Sydney Heritage Fleet is primarily a volunteer organisation backed by a small core of paid staff. It receives no direct government assistance, depending on donations, an Art Union and income from using its assets. In its 40 years the fleet has amassed a variety of craft with respect to both age and type, and has undertaken substantial restoration projects. This paper describes the management of the Fleet's over 600 volunteers, including recruitment, induction, training, recognition, reward and insurance. Of prime importance is a philosophy that recognises the rights and needs of volunteers and a requirement that they all enter into an Agreement with the Fleet, that enunciates the rights and obligations of both. Sound business and strategic planning aimed at financial viability as well as organisation maintenance and renewal, are paramount in the successful operation of this enterprise, that has as its goal: To build and maintain an internationally recognised centre of excellence in maritime heritage.
