The Club has
the following equipment, which is available for members' use.
Flying
Fifteen Sailing Dinghies. The
Flying Fifteens are
very safe boats but are high performance, and thus members wishing to use them
must be trained or have proof of experience. Members are expected to provide
their own lifejackets and safety equipment and boats are taken out at members
risk. Any damage which occurs however small must be reported / logged in the
Flying Fifteens log book. Once approved, use is on an ad-hoc basis. Club
members are appointed with responsibility for Flying Fifteen maintenance. The
cost of use of the Flying Fifteens is set on an annual basis to cover repairs
and maintenance.
3 Laser
"Pico" Sailing Dinghies. The
Picos have been purchased
primarily for the training of the younger members of the Club but are also
available for older beginners, and for fun racing on Club days. Use is only on
planned event days or with prior arrangement with the Commodore. A safety boat
must be available when Picos are sailed.

Club
Safety Boat. In February 2006 the club purchased a
safety boat in order to facilitate the dinghy sailing programme. The
boat is a
4.7 m
Zodiac Rib, with a 60 HP Evinrude Etec outboard. Use of safety boats will be restricted to those
with the relevant training. |

Sewing
Machine. The Club has an industrial sewing machine
which is available for use for sail repairs and suchlike. Before using the
machine, members must be instructed in its safe use and should contact the
Commodore.

The Club maintains a trot of moorings for the Flying
Fifteens. There are no visitors moorings at present, but some are expected
to be provided by the Peir Trustees in the future. Single point moorings are the individuals own responsibility, but are regulated by an independent moorings association
linked to the Crown Estate.
