The Club
aims to encourage a culture of risk awareness and safety at sea by organising
events with a safety focus. All suggestions and ideas on events are welcome.
The club
carries insurance for its equipment, property, and third party liability.
Members are however reminded, that they take to the sea and engage in Club
activities at their own risk. The Club does not own lifejackets or buoyancy
aids and members are expected to provide their own. All members are advised to
wear them at all times on the water, especially in small boats and tenders. It
is compulsory to wear lifejackets or buoyancy aids when using Club boats.
Members who own
larger boats are expected to have a minimum of £2,000,000 third party cover if
engaged in Club activities. This should include cover for launching and
recovery, and storage ashore.
Cruising boats
are expected to carry at least the minimum safety equipment as specified by the
MCA. Storage of fuel cans and toxic or flammable substances in the clubhouse is
prohibited.
The Club is
located in a harbour area. It is important that members observe the harbour
byelaws, take due regard of commercial activities in the Loch and contact the
Harbour Master prior to using the pier and its facilities.
