Reading Sailing Club

At present the club has 3 Lasers, a Comet, an Otter, a 420, 3 Toppers and a Wayfarer. The lasers have a full rig and there are Radial and 4.7 rigs for lighter sailors or beginners.

Club boats may be hired by members for their own or signed-in guests use only. Club events such as training courses, Youth Sessions or Open Days have first call on the Club boats and other users should check with the organiser of an event as to which boats will be available for general hire. These dates will normally be indicated on the booking sheets.

Boat availability is on a first come, first served basis.

Payment of £10/half-day session (reduced to £5 for boats other than the Wayfarer and 420 for Pink Days and Youth Sessions).

Please ensure that all the parts are returned to where they were found so that the boat is complete for the next person. Report any problems that need fixing to a committee member so that boats are kept in a ready to sail condition.

Reservations

A Club boat may be reserved for a particular date by signing on the booking sheet on the noticeboard. To allow all members access to boats, only one booking per person may be active at a time, ie if a boat is booked for the following Sunday morning, no further bookings may be made before Sunday lunchtime. The exception to this is that a single boat may be booked for both the morning and afternoon on the same day.

Club boats that are not reserved for a particular session may be hired on the day, regardless of an active booking that the member may have for a future date. This should also be indicated by signing the booking sheet to claim the boat for that session.
